| Additional information |
Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg was a minor county that produced some of the most iconographically ambitious thalers of the early seventeenth century. The so-called "Biblischer Taler" series — biblical thalers — was a deliberate propaganda exercise, with Ernest III using sacred imagery to project piety and legitimacy for a county whose political standing was perpetually precarious within the Holy Roman Empire. The type spans over two decades of his reign, meaning dies were reused and reworked extensively; Lange distinguishes multiple die states under 838A, and condition of the die edges is a reliable indicator of striking period within the run.
