The ½ Taler coin from County of Schaumburg-Lippe, issued in 1748 during the reign of William Frederick Ernest, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the county's coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath made of two branches, symbolizing the unity of the county's two main territories: Schaumburg and Lippe.
