Stolberg thaler
The North German thaler was the currency issued by the County of Stolberg, and after multiple divisions, by its successors Stolberg-Stolberg, Stolberg-Rossla, Stolberg-Wernigerode, Stolberg-Königstein, and Stolberg-Rochefort counties. It was issued from the late 15th century until mid 18th century when Stolberg-Wernigerode was forced to subordinate themselves to the Kingdom of Prussia and the counts of Stolberg-Stolberg and Stolberg-Rossla to the Electorate of Saxony. Numerous coinage issued by Stolberg counties was made possible by rich silver mines in their possessions.[1]
The Stolberg thaler was distinctive in its design, featuring the coat of arms of Stolberg on one side and stag facing left, often in front of a column, on the other. The coin was minted from high-quality silver and was considered to be of good weight and fineness.
