Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats coin from County of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg is that it features an unusual coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with a crowned eagle in the center, surrounded by two lions and two griffins. This design was unique to the County of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg and was not used on any other coins from the German States.
