Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the County of Schaumburg-Lippe, issued in 1765 during the reign of William Frederick Ernest, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the county's coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and a ribbon with the motto "Fürchte Gott, Liebe Vaterland" (Fear God, Love Fatherland). This design was meant to symbolize the county's loyalty to the Holy Roman Empire and its commitment to the values of faith and patriotism.
