1 Thaler - Wolf Ernest, John, Henry XXII, Louis George and Christoph II

Stolberg's joint-rule thalers of the late sixteenth century reflect the county's persistent practice of partible inheritance, which repeatedly fractured the territory among multiple heirs and produced coinage listing impractical numbers of co-rulers. By 1598, the Stolberg line had divided and recombined enough times that a single coin required five names. The arrangement was administrative reality, not ceremony.

Davenport's attribution under GT I#9880 places this among a small cluster of multi-count issues struck across just two years before the succession shifted again.
