Comment
Götz 142 Slg. Memm. 2779Interesting fact
The ½ Schilling coin from Palatinate-Mosbach-Neumarkt (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.16 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Otto II, who was the Count Palatine of Mosbach and Neumarkt from 1461 to 1499. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin from the Renaissance period, and its design features the coat of arms of the Palatinate-Mosbach-Neumarkt region on one side and an image of Otto II on the other. It is also notable for its small weight of 1.16 grams, which was unusual for coins of that time period.
