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 weighing 1.39 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great religious and political change in Europe. The Bishopric of Bamberg was a powerful ecclesiastical state in the Holy Roman Empire, and the coin's design likely reflects the influence of the Catholic Church and the local ruling family, the House of Bamberg. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting indicates the importance of trade and commerce in the region during this period.
