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 1.62g 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 diocese's finances and administration. The coin's design features the bishop's coat of arms on one side and the image of a lion on the other, symbolizing the bishop's power and authority. Despite its small size, this coin played an important role in the local economy and is now a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
