Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling 1538 coin from the City of Stralsund (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of King Christian III of Denmark, who ruled from 1534 to 1559. Christian III was instrumental in introducing the Protestant Reformation in Denmark and Norway, which had a significant impact on the economy and trade of the region. The coin's silver content and intricate design also reflect the advanced minting techniques and artistry of the time.
