Comment
Weinm.3, Lange 779Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Fürstengroschen - Otto V ND (1567) coin from County of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg (German States) is that it features a unique combination of Christian and pagan symbols. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned shield with the initials "O" and "V" on either side, while the reverse side shows a naked warrior holding a sword and a shield with a cross on it. This blending of religious and mythological motifs was not uncommon in Renaissance-era coinage, but it makes this particular coin stand out as a fascinating example of cultural syncretism.
