The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving, leading to a period of political instability and economic upheaval.

This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg during a time of great uncertainty.
