Interesting fact
The ⅙ Thaler coin from the Abbey of Corvey, minted in 1765 during the reign of Philip of Spiegel zum Desenberg, features a unique design element - a small image of a horse and rider on the reverse side. This tiny detail is believed to represent the coat of arms of the Counts of Spiegel, who were influential nobles in the region. This subtle inclusion of the Spiegel family crest highlights the close connection between the church and the nobility during that time period.
