Comment
Slg. Piloty# 870Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Schilling - Gottfried IV Schenk of Limpurg ND (1443) coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "G" and "S" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Gottfried Schenk von Limpurg" (Gottfried Schenk of Limpurg). This coin was minted during a time when the Bishopric of Würzburg was an independent state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the Schenk von Limpurg family was a prominent noble family in the region. The coin's design reflects the influence of both the Bishopric and the Schenk von Limpurg family, making it a valuable piece for collectors interested in German history and numismatics.
