| Reverse description | Central field depicts the Stolberg stag passant to the right, standing upon a decorated pedestal bearing the mint initial 'S', with a vertical staff topped by a cross rising behind it — a classic emblem of the Stolberg counts. The date 1763 is inscribed in the lower field below the pedestal. The circumferential legend reads XX EINE FEINE MARCH · NACH DEM CONVENTFUSS, indicating the coin's fineness and conformity to the Conventions Foot monetary standard. A small floral ornament appears at the base of the design. |
