Variants (lettering) exist.
Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling coin from the County of Oldenburg, issued during the reign of Anthony Günter (1657-1662), features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the county's coat of arms, which includes a pair of golden lions flanking a silver shield with a red cross. This design was meant to symbolize the county's unity and strength under the rule of the House of Oldenburg.
