Mintmaster IB - Johann BostelmannInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 16 Gute Groschen coin from the County of Stolberg-Wernigerode is that it features a unique combination of coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts the symbols of the two ruling families, Ernest and Louis Christian, who were the Counts of Stolberg-Wernigerode. This coin was minted in 1674, and it is a rare example of a silver coin from this time period that features such a detailed and intricate design.
