Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Johan III, who was the King of Sweden from 1568 to 1592. During his reign, he introduced a new coinage system that included the 1 Schilling coin, which was made of Billon and weighed 0.81 grams. This coin was used in the City of Reval, which is now known as Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today.
