Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the County of Schaumburg-Lippe, issued in 1748 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 laurel leaves. This design was a common motif in coins of the German States during that time period, symbolizing the county's sovereignty and connection to the Holy Roman Empire.
