Interesting fact
The 12 Kreuzer coin from the County of Lippe-Detmold, minted in 1621 during the reign of Simon VII, features an interesting design element - a stylized portrait of the Count, surrounded by an elaborate wreath. This design was a departure from the more traditional depiction of rulers on coins, and showcases the artistic style of the time.
