Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from County of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg, minted in 1628 during the reign of Justus Hermann, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbol of the county, the coin features a depiction of a mythical creature known as the "Lindworm," which is a serpent-like creature with the body of a lion and the head of an eagle. This unique design was likely meant to symbolize the county's strength and power.
