Comment
Struck from Thaler dies, KM# 102.Interesting fact
The 10 Ducats coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg, minted in 1700 during the reign of Christof Louis I, is a rare and valuable collector's item. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted using a unique process called "frosting," which gives the coin a textured, frosted appearance. This process was achieved by applying a special solution to the coin's surface, creating a frosty effect that enhances the coin's details and makes it stand out from other coins. The use of frosting on this coin adds an extra layer of beauty and rarity to an already valuable and historic coin.
