Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1½ Thaler coin from County of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg is that it features a unique coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with a crowned eagle in the center, surrounded by two lions and a pair of wings. This design was specifically used by Adolphus XIII, the Count of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg, and is a distinctive feature of this coin.
