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 1601 until his death in 1622. The coin was minted in 1612, during his reign, and it is made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal for coinage during that time period.
