1 Thaler - Wolfgang, Louis II, Henry XXI, Albert George and Christoph

Stolberg's mid-sixteenth century thalers are joint-issue pieces, struck in the names of all ruling co-heirs simultaneously — a direct consequence of the county's inheritance practices, which repeatedly divided and recombined the territory among male-line Stolberg descendants. The five names on this coin reflect that fractured governance, with Wolfgang, Louis II, Henry XXI, Albert George, and Christoph each holding a share of comital authority during 1545–46.

The Mansfeld-Stolberg silver district fed these issues directly; the Harz mining output of this decade was substantial enough to sustain thaler production even among smaller imperial counts.
