| Additional information |
Stolberg-Ortenberg was a small Rhenish county whose coinage rights were perpetually contested during the early seventeenth century. Louis George ruled jointly with other Stolberg line members under the complex partitions that had fragmented the family's territories since 1538, meaning even minor denominational issues like this groschen reflect administrative decisions made by committee rather than a single sovereign hand. The KM#13 attribution covers the full three-year span, suggesting dies were reused or undated, a common economy in small county mints operating on thin margins.
