Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The County of Schaumburg-Lippe was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the minting of this coin reflects the growing influence of mercantilism and the need for standardized currency in trade. The use of gold in the coin's composition also speaks to the value placed on this precious metal during this time period.
