Interesting fact
The ½ Schilling coin from Palatinate-Mosbach-Neumarkt (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.27 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Otto II, who was the Duke of Palatinate-Mosbach-Neumarkt from 1496 to 1498. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin minted during the Renaissance period in Germany, and its design features the coat of arms of the Palatinate-Mosbach-Neumarkt region on one side and the image of Otto II on the other.
