1 Thaler - Simon Henry

Simon Henry ruled the County of Lippe from 1627 until his death in 1697, a tenure that spanned the devastation of the Thirty Years' War and its grinding economic aftermath. Thalers struck in his name are relatively scarce; Lippe was a small Westphalian county with limited minting activity, and most issues saw modest production runs that reflected the territory's constrained fiscal resources.

The Ihl reference citation for this piece — 305 A1/a — indicates a specific die pairing within a documented variety sequence, suggesting Ihl identified multiple obverse or reverse states for this type.
