Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the County of Lippe-Detmold, minted in 1672 during the reign of Simon Henry, features an interesting design element - a stylized portrait of the ruler, Simon Henry, with a distinctive mustache. This mustache has been a topic of interest among numismatists and historians, as it is said to be one of the earliest depictions of a mustache on a coin. The coin's design also includes the coat of arms of the County of Lippe-Detmold and other symbols of the region.
