Comment
Grimm# 382Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling coin from the City of Wismar (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.28 g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a conflict that devastated much of Germany and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite this, the City of Wismar continued to mint coins, and this particular coin is a testament to the city's resilience and determination to maintain economic stability during a time of great upheaval.
