Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling coin from the Duchy of Württemberg, also known as the "Kipper" coin, was minted in 1622 during the reign of John Frederick I. It was made of silver and features an image of the duke on one side and the coat of arms of Württemberg on the other. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Kipper" period, which lasted from 1618 to 1623. During this time, the value of coins fluctuated greatly due to a shortage of silver, leading to the minting of coins with varying amounts of silver content. The "Kipper" coin was one of the coins minted during this period, and its value was 1 Schilling, which was a significant amount at the time. Despite the economic challenges of the time, the "Kipper" coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of dollars.
