Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin from the County of Solms-Hohensolms, minted during the reign of Philip 1612-1617, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbol of the county, the coin features a depiction of a wild boar, which was a common animal in the region at the time. This unique design choice was likely intended to symbolize the county's connection to the natural world and its abundant resources.
