Interesting fact
The 1⁄12 Thaler coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg (German States) was minted during the reign of Christoph Louis II and Frederick Botho from 1746 to 1750. What's interesting about this coin is that it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. In fact, silver coins were often used as a symbol of wealth and status, and owning one was seen as a sign of prosperity. Additionally, the fact that this coin was minted in a smaller denomination, 1⁄12 Thaler, suggests that it was intended for everyday use by ordinary people, rather than being a high-value coin reserved for the wealthy elite.
