Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the County of Lippe, minted in 1528 during the reign of Simon V, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a coat of arms or other symbol of the issuing authority, this coin bears an image of a wild boar, surrounded by foliage and the inscription "S.V.D.L." (an abbreviation of the Latin phrase "Sigismundus Virtus et Litterae," which translates to "Sigismund's Virtue and Knowledge"). This unique design was likely intended to highlight the region's reputation for hunting and wild game, and may also have been meant to symbolize the ruler's strength and prowess.
