Interesting fact
The Hermann Adolphus 1 Thaler coin from the County of Lippe-Detmold (Lippe, German States) was minted in 1658 and made of silver, weighing 28.91 grams. It's interesting to note that the coin's design features a unique combination of Christian and pagan symbols, reflecting the cultural and religious influences of the time. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned shield with the Lippe-Detmold coat of arms, while the reverse side shows a representation of the Roman goddess of fortune, Fortuna, surrounded by symbols of the four evangelists. This blending of religious and mythological symbols was not uncommon in coins of the era, and it adds to the historical and cultural significance of the coin.
