| Additional information |
Stolberg-Stolberg was a small Saxon county perpetually navigating the financial wreckage left by the Seven Years' War, which ended in 1763 — the opening year of this issue. Joint-reign coinages from the Stolberg territories are notoriously complicated; Frederick Botho and Charles Louis were co-rulers from the Stolberg-Stolberg line, and their combined issues span a narrow window before the county's eventual absorption into larger territorial structures.
The Friederich reference places this precisely within the specialist literature on Stolberg coinage, where die variations between the 1763 and 1764 dates are documented and collectible distinctions.
