Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the German States. The coin was minted in 1768-1770, a period known as the Enlightenment, which saw significant cultural, scientific, and political developments. This coin is a testament to the economic and political changes that were taking place during this time, as it was minted by two different rulers, Charles Louis and Henry Christian Frederick, who were both members of the House of Stolberg, a prominent noble family in the German States. Additionally, the coin was minted in two different locations, the County of Stolberg-Stolberg and the County of Stolberg-Rossla, which highlights the complex political landscape of the time.
