Interesting fact

The 1 Schilling coin from the City of Rostock (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.09 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Charles V, who was instrumental in shaping the political and economic landscape of Europe during the 16th century. The coin's design, which features the coat of arms of the City of Rostock, is a testament to the city's rich history and cultural heritage. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and sought-after metal at the time, speaks to the coin's value and significance in the eyes of the people who used it.
