Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from the County of Bentheim-Tecklenburg-Rheda, made of silver, features an image of Adolphus, the Count of Bentheim-Tecklenburg-Rheda, on one side, and the coat of arms of the county on the other. This coin was minted during Adolphus' reign from 1618 to 1619 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. It's interesting to note that the coin's design and mintage were overseen by the Count himself, making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
