Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Schilling coin from the City of Dortmund (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.05g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies. The City of Dortmund, in particular, was an important trading center and the coin was likely used extensively in local commerce. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin's silver content and intricate design make it a valuable collector's item today.
