Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from County of Lippe-Detmold (Lippe, German States) made of Silver weighing 28.14 g, issued in 1767 to commemorate Simon August's 40th birthday, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or insignia, the coin bears an image of a large, crowned eagle with outstretched wings, grasping a scepter and an orb. This design was meant to symbolize the power and authority of the Count of Lippe-Detmold, and it sets the coin apart from other coins of the time.
