Comment
Minted for use in Ulm and Überlingen.Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling coin from the City of Ulm (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.50g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted in the early 16th century, a period of religious upheaval and political transformation, as the Protestant Reformation was gaining momentum and the Empire was facing challenges to its authority. Despite these challenges, the City of Ulm continued to mint its own coins, like this 1 Schilling, which remained in circulation until the late 16th century. This coin serves as a tangible reminder of the resilience and economic activity of the City of Ulm during a time of great turmoil in Europe.
