Interesting fact

The 3 Kreuzers coin from the County of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, minted in 1623 during the reign of Philip Ernest, is notable for its unique design. It features a depiction of a wild man, known as a "Wildmann," on the reverse side, which was a common motif in medieval art and symbolized strength and bravery. The use of this design on the coin was likely intended to convey the idea of the county's strength and resilience.
