| Additional information |
Simon Henry ruled Lippe as a minor under regency until 1681, and the county's small-denomination billon issues of this period reflect the chronic silver shortage that plagued north German territories in the years following the Thirty Years' War. The Mattier — a pfennig-derived fractional unit specific to Lippe — saw irregular production across these decades, with dies frequently reused and mintmaster accountability loosely enforced.
