| Beschrijving voorzijde | Elaborately mantled and helmeted achievement of arms displayed at centre, composed of multiple quartered escutcheons surmounted by a crested great helm with flanking lambrequins and ornate foliate scroll-work filling the field. The principal shield bears the characteristic Schaumburg nettle-leaf device alongside other dynastic quarters, all rendered in high relief with fine baroque detailing. A Latin legend runs along the beaded border, interrupted by rosette stops, citing the title and name of Count Ernest III. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ernest III ruled the tiny county of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg from 1601 until his death in 1622, and the production of double thalers under his name reflects the ambitions of a minor north German prince eager to assert fiscal weight beyond what the territory's size would normally justify. The county sat at a geopolitical crossroads as the Thirty Years' War ignited, and coinage of this magnitude — double thalers circulating at a premium — served the practical demands of military contracting and cross-border trade along the Weser corridor.
The Davenport listing under Lg#475 places this firmly among the large silver issues tracked for the Lower Saxon Circle.
