1 Thaler - Simon Henry

Simon Henry ruled Lippe for only four years, from 1671 until his death in 1675, making his thalers among the scarcer issues from that county. Lippe was a small but administratively independent territory in the Holy Roman Empire, and its right to strike full thalers at this weight standard reflected a jealously maintained coinage privilege.

The Dav. 6895 attribution places this squarely within Davenport's classification of German secular states — a category where short-reign pieces routinely go underappreciated relative to their actual scarcity.
