Comment
This coin is also known with countermarks of arms of the county of Mark (checkerboard).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Schilling 1631-1640 coin from the City of Dortmund is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "C.D." (Civitas Dortmundia) located above the coat of arms on the obverse side of the coin. This shield was added to the design to indicate the coin's issuing authority and to distinguish it from other coins produced in the German States during the same period.
