Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from the County of Rietberg is that it features a unique coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with a diagonal line dividing it into two parts, with the top part showing a crowned eagle and the bottom part displaying a lion. This design represents the union of two noble families, the Counts of Rietberg and the Counts of Lippe, who ruled the region in the 17th century. The coat of arms is surrounded by a wreath of leaves and berries, adding to the coin's intricate and beautiful design.
