| Reverse description | A standing stag facing left dominates the central field, with a crucifix or tall cross rising above its back, referencing the county's mining heritage and Christian piety. The animal is depicted in fine relief with naturalistic detail typical of German Baroque die engraving. The surrounding circular legend reads GOTT SEEGNE UND ERHALTE UNSERE BERGWERCKE ('God bless and preserve our mines'), a direct invocation for the prosperity of the Stolberg mining industry. The legend is separated by a small rosette or ornamental stop. The overall composition reflects the strong association of the Stolberg counts with their silver-mining economy. |
