Interesting fact

The County of Stolberg-Stolberg was a small territory within the Empire, and the minting of this coin reflects the political and economic shifts that were taking place during this time period. Despite its small size, the County of Stolberg-Stolberg was an important center for trade and commerce, and the minting of this coin likely played a significant role in facilitating economic activity in the region.
