2 Kreuzers - Ernest I, Eberhard and Hermann Adolphus

Solms-Lich was partitioned repeatedly among male heirs throughout the sixteenth century, producing a succession of joint-rule coinages where multiple counts appear as co-issuers. This piece reflects one such arrangement — Ernest I ruling alongside his brothers Eberhard and Hermann Adolphus, a tripartite authority that was administratively awkward and numismatically brief.

The county's coinage rights derived from imperial privilege, but small silver pieces of this type circulated primarily within a tight regional radius, absorbed quickly into local trade along the Hessian plain.
