Comment
Struck with 2 Ducat dies, KM# 226.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Ducats coin from County of Stolberg-Stolberg is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1743, just a few years before the Seven Years' War, which had a profound impact on the German States and the rest of Europe. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with its gold content and detailed design.
