Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the County of Stolberg (German States) made of Silver and minted in 1544 is interesting because it features four different rulers: Wolfgang, Louis II, Albert George, and Christof I. This is unusual as most coins typically feature only one ruler. Additionally, the coin's design includes a unique blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles, reflecting the cultural influences of the time.
