Interesting fact
The 1⁄12 Thaler coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.52 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted between 1709 and 1736, a period when many German states were transitioning from using the traditional Thaler currency to the newer Konventionsmunze currency. This coin represents a unique moment in history when two different currency systems coexisted, and it is a testament to the complex monetary systems that existed in Europe during this time.
