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 1611 to 1618, on one side, and the coat of arms of the county on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region, and its design reflects the influences of the Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation. The use of silver in the coin's minting also speaks to the region's rich mining history and the value placed on precious metals during this time period.
