Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Ernest III 1606 coin from County of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg (German States) is that it features a unique combination of symbols and imagery on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the County of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg, surrounded by a wreath of leaves and topped with a crown. This design was used specifically for coins minted during the reign of Ernest III, who ruled the county from 1601 to 1622. The use of a crowned shield and a wreath of leaves was a common motif in coinage during this time period, but the specific combination of symbols and imagery on this coin makes it stand out as a unique and interesting example of early 17th-century German numismatics.
