Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from County of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg is that it features an image of Ernest III, the ruling count of the county from 1620 to 1630. The coin was minted during his reign and bears his name and title on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the county. This coin is a rare and valuable example of early 17th-century German numismatics, providing a glimpse into the history and culture of the region during that time.
