Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Schilling - Bogislaw X (Damm) 1493 coin from Duchy of Pomerania is that it features a unique combination of both Latin and Germanic languages on its inscription. The obverse side of the coin bears the Latin inscription "BOGISLAVS • X • D • G • P •" which stands for "Bogislav X, Duke of Pomerania," while the reverse side features the Germanic inscription "EIN • SCHILLING • VON • POMERANIA" meaning "One Schilling from Pomerania." This blend of languages reflects the cultural and linguistic diversity of the region during that time period.
