| Reverse description | The central field depicts a stag standing to the left before a tall column or pillar, the heraldic arms of Stolberg appearing on the column's base. The composition alludes to the mining heritage of the county, a theme reinforced by the surrounding circular legend. The outer legend, rendered in Latin script, reads a blessing for the local mines: GOTT SEEGNE U. ERHALTE UNSERE BERGWERCKE. The design is engraved in a naturalistic baroque style typical of German regional coinage of the period, with fine detailing in the animal's form and the architectural column. |
