Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the German States. The coin was minted in 1745, just a few years before the start of the Seven Years' War, which would have a profound impact on the political and economic landscape of Europe. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of the ruling counts of Stolberg-Stolberg, Christof Louis II and Frederick Botho, signifying the continued importance of local rulers and their power during this time.
