Interesting fact
The 1738-1739 Jost Christian and Christof Louis II (Ausbeute) 1/12 Thaler coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Jost Christian and Christof Louis II, who were both prominent figures in the region. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the County of Stolberg-Stolberg on one side and the inscription "AUS BEUTE" on the other, which translates to "from booty" in English. This suggests that the coin may have been minted using silver obtained through military conquests or other means, which adds to its historical significance. Additionally, the coin's small weight of 1.6 grams makes it a unique and rare find for collectors.
