Interesting fact
The Bishopric of Bamberg, where this coin was minted, was a significant center of power and influence in the Holy Roman Empire during the Middle Ages. The bishopric was established in the 11th century and lasted until the late 18th century, and during that time, it minted its own coins, including the 1 Schilling coin featuring Anthony of Rotenhan. The coin's design and minting process were overseen by the bishop of Bamberg, who was a powerful religious and political figure in the region.
