Comment
Struck for usage in Ulm, Ravensburg and in ÜberlingenInteresting fact
The 1 Schilling coin from the City of Ulm (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.29g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted between 1501 and 1502, a period when the Empire was facing political and economic challenges, including the rise of Protestantism and the decline of the traditional feudal system. Despite these challenges, the City of Ulm continued to mint its own coins, indicating a level of independence and economic stability in the region. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of silver suggests that the city had access to a valuable resource and was able to produce coins of high quality, which could have been used for trade and commerce.
