Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Thalers - Moritz 1657 coin from County of Bentheim-Tecklenburg-Rheda (German States) is that it features a unique combination of symbols and letters on its reverse side. The coin's reverse features a shield with the county's coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath of leaves and topped with a crown. The shield is divided into quarters, each bearing a different symbol: a rose, a lion, a crescent moon, and a star. The letters "M" and "T" are also visible on either side of the shield, representing the names of the county's rulers, Moritz and Tecklenburg. This combination of symbols and letters creates a visually striking and distinctive design that sets the coin apart from other coins of the time.
