Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1737 Stolberg-Stolberg 1/12 Thaler coin is that it features a unique blend of both Catholic and Protestant imagery on its reverse side. The coin's designer, Johann Christian Wenzel, was known for his ability to blend different artistic styles and themes, and this coin is a prime example of his work. The reverse side of the coin depicts a double-headed eagle, which was a common symbol of the Holy Roman Empire, but it also features the Protestant motto "In God We Trust" in German. This blending of religious imagery was not uncommon in the German States during this time period, but it is still a fascinating aspect of this particular coin.
