Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Mariengroschen coin from County of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg is that it features an image of Justus Hermann, the county's ruling count, on one side, and the coat of arms of the county on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region, and its design reflects the importance of the ruling family and the county's heraldry during that period.
