Interesting fact

The 3 Kreuzers coin from the County of Stolberg, issued during the reign of Christof II (1621-1622), features an interesting design element - a stylized image of a wild boar on the reverse side. This symbol was chosen to represent the region's rich hunting traditions and the importance of the boar as a source of food and resources for the local population.
