| Additional information |
Stolberg-Stolberg's coinage during this period reflects the county's peculiar constitutional arrangement: Christof Frederick and Jost Christian ruled jointly under the partitioned inheritance system common to German comital houses, which is why both names appear on so small a denomination. Joint-rule coinages of this type were struck to satisfy legal obligations under the Holy Roman Empire's monetary ordinances rather than any practical commercial need — a groschen of this weight circulated at the absolute lower margin of silver coinage viability.
