Interesting fact
The ½ Schilling coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Frederick III, who ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 1440 to 1493. During his reign, the Empire faced challenges from the rising powers of France and England, and the coinage of the time reflects the economic and political tensions of the era. The ½ Schilling coin, made of silver and weighing 1.22 grams, was a common denomination used in trade and commerce during this period. Despite its small size, the coin played an important role in the economy of the time and is now a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
