Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling coin featuring Jan Chodkiewicz (Dole Castle) 1572 from Duchy of Livonia is interesting because it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that contains only 0.060 silver, which was a relatively low percentage of silver content compared to other coins of its time. Despite this, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in circulation. This fact highlights the resourcefulness and adaptability of the Duchy of Livonia in producing currency that was both practical and valuable, despite the limited availability of precious metals.
