Comment

Unedited type: This piece has the circumscription D ° G : PRINC : ET : COMES, which means that the piece can be minted only after 1620. Ernst III received the title of prince in 1620. In the literature from 1620 only dated pieces are described.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from County of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg is that it features an image of a crowned eagle on the obverse side, which symbolizes the power and authority of the ruling dynasty.
