Interesting fact

The 1 Schilling coin from the Free Hanseatic City of Hamburg (German States) made of Billon (.375 silver) weighing 1.08 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the period of the German Confederation, a loose association of 39 German states that existed from 1815 to 1866. The coin's design and composition reflect the economic and political realities of the time, with the use of a silver-based alloy (Billon) and a relatively low weight, indicating the need for a widely accessible and affordable currency for everyday transactions.
