Comment
Mintmaster - Hans KöppelinInteresting fact
The 1 Schilling coin from the Danish duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, minted during the reign of Frederick II in 1565, features an image of the king on one side and a shield with the coat of arms of the two duchies on the other. This coin was made of silver and weighed 1.59 grams. What's interesting is that this coin was used as a means of payment in the German States during a time when the region was experiencing significant economic growth and cultural development. The coin's design and materials reflect the wealth and prosperity of the region during this period.
