Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The County of Stolberg-Stolberg was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the production of this coin reflects the growing influence of mercantilism and the need for standardized currency in the region. The use of silver in the coin's minting also speaks to the value placed on this precious metal at the time, and how it was used as a symbol of wealth and power.
