Beschrijving keerzijde A centrally placed shield bearing a four-fold quartered coat of arms with an inescutcheon at its center, surmounted by three ornate crested helmets with flowing mantling. The heraldic achievement is framed by the continuation of the circumferential legend, with the date appearing at the end of the inscription. The overall composition is typical of the elaborate armorial taler designs produced for the Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg counts during the early seventeenth century.

Aanvullende informatie

Ernest III ruled Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg during one of the most destabilizing periods in German history — the Thirty Years' War had begun just two years before this thaler was struck, and the county's position in northwestern Germany placed it directly in the path of competing military interests. The Schaumburg line itself was in its final generation; Ernest III died without a legitimate male heir in 1622, after which the county was partitioned among neighboring claimants, ending the dynasty entirely.

Thalers from this county in 1620 were struck in very limited quantity, as the mint at Stadthagen was not a prolific operation even in stable times. Davenport's EC II#3739 distinguishes this issue from related Schaumburg types by die characteristics specific to the Ernest III coinage.
