| Additional information |
Henry XIX ruled Stolberg jointly with his brothers, a dynastic arrangement common among the fragmented lordships of the Harz region that frequently produced short, overlapping coinages difficult to attribute to a single regnal moment. Stolberg's silver output in this period drew on local mining — the Harz was among the most productive silver-bearing regions in the Holy Roman Empire before the great Joachimsthaler strikes shifted attention westward into Bohemia.
MB#4 is thinly documented, and surviving examples are rarely encountered outside specialist German regional collections.
