Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling coin from the City of Worms (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.11g 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 Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, who ruled from 1493 to 1519. This was a period of significant economic growth and trade, and the coin reflects the increasing importance of commerce and trade in the region. Additionally, the coin's design features the image of a worm, which was a symbol of the city of Worms and represented the city's reputation for producing high-quality textiles.
