Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1620-1621 Adolphus 1/21 Thaler from County of Bentheim-Tecklenburg-Rheda (German States) is that it features a unique coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with a diagonal split between the upper left and lower right quadrants, with the upper left quadrant bearing a crowned eagle and the lower right quadrant bearing a lion. This coat of arms represents the combined arms of the Counties of Bentheim and Tecklenburg, which were united under a single ruler, Adolphus, at the time the coin was minted. The use of this coat of arms on the coin highlights the political unity and cooperation between the two counties during this period.
