| Beschrijving voorzijde | The quartered and impaled arms of Stolberg-Stolberg, surmounted by three ornate crowned helmets with elaborate mantling, occupy the central field. The date 1796 is divided across the shield, with the mintmaster initials E·H and assayer initial A flanking the base of the arms. The denomination ⅔ appears within a cartouche below the shield, accompanied by the fineness designation FEIN SILB. The circular legend, reading from upper left, identifies the two co-ruling counts in abbreviated Latin: CARL • LUDW • U • H • CHR • FRIED • GR • Z • STOLB •. The overall composition is rendered in high relief with fine baroque detail characteristic of late 18th-century German mint work. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
By 1796, Stolberg-Stolberg was an Imperial County of rapidly diminishing practical authority, its minting rights among the last genuine exercises of sovereignty it retained within a Holy Roman Empire already fracturing under French revolutionary pressure. Charles Louis and Henry Christian Frederick ruled jointly — a co-regency arrangement common to the Stolberg family's habit of partible inheritance, which complicated succession and coin production alike throughout the eighteenth century.
The ⅔ Thaler denomination, equivalent to the North German Gulden, was the workhorse of regional commerce in the lower Saxon circle. This issue appeared just three years before the Empire's dissolution became inevitable.
