Interesting fact
The 24 Kreuzer coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving. The County of Stolberg, where the coin was minted, was a small territory located in what is now the state of Saxony-Anhalt in eastern Germany. Despite the turmoil of the time, the County of Stolberg was known for its rich silver deposits, which made it an important center for silver mining and minting. The 24 Kreuzer coin is a testament to the county's economic and mining history, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
