SCHAUMBURG-LIPPE, -PINNEBERG

Key identification notes: The coins of Schaumburg that display arms will almost always show the triangular nettle-leaf charge, pointed downwards, often stylized with arrows or other designs, that has been the region's heraldic symbol since the 12th century. Schaumburg-Lippe's coins may have an escutcheon or have the nettle-leaf quartered with the rose of Lippe. Occasionally the nettle-leaf will have a small Lippe rose escutcheon. Holstein-Pinneberg (sometimes referenced as Schaumburg-Pinneberg, or Holstein-Schaumburg) was a tiny duchy town ruled by Dukes from the area of Schaumburg from 1290-1640. Like the coins of Lippe, the arms will feature the nettle-leaf.
