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 ND (1440) coin from the Bishopric of Bamberg was made of silver, which was a common material used for coins during that time period. However, what makes this coin particularly interesting is that it features a unique design element - a small cross symbol located on the reverse side of the coin, which was added to signify the coin's connection to the Bishopric of Bamberg. This small cross symbol is not found on other coins from the same time period, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
