Comment
Coinage of the bishop of Bamberg Anthony of Rotenhan in the monetary union of 1437 with the burgrave Frederick VI of Nuremberg and the bishop of Würzburg John II.Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling coin from the Bishopric of Bamberg (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Bishop Anton von Rotenhan, who was known for his efforts to reform the economy and administration of the bishopric. The coin's design features the image of the bishop on one side and the coat of arms of the bishopric on the other, symbolizing the authority and power of the church during that time. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the previous copper coins, indicating a shift towards a more valuable and durable currency.
