1 Thaler - Louis II, Henry XXI, Albert George and Christof I

Stolberg's joint-rule thalers of the sixteenth century were struck under the counts' formal co-sovereignty arrangements, a dynastic system peculiar to the Saxon-Thuringian counties where partition of territory rarely meant partition of minting rights. All four names on this coin — Louis II, Henry XXI, Albert George, and Christof I — represent simultaneous ruling counts of the house of Stolberg-Stolberg, a circumstance that made multi-name coinage administratively necessary rather than ceremonially decorative.

Davenport GT I#9856 places this among a tight cluster of Stolberg joint issues from the early 1560s, each varying in the specific combination of regnal names as counts died or came of age.
