Interesting fact
The Anthony of Schaumburg 1599 1/24 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Minden (German States) is interesting because it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "S" on the reverse side, which stands for "Schaumburg." This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was minted at the Schaumburg mint, which was a branch mint of the Bishopric of Minden. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted at a satellite mint, rather than the main mint, and its unique design element makes it stand out among other coins of the time.
