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 1608 to 1613, 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.
