Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Abbey of Corvey is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Counts of Buchholz, which was the family crest of Reinhard II. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "REINHARD II GRAF ZU BUCHHOLTZ" (Reinhard II, Count of Buchholz). This detail sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical significance.
