Comment
Slg. Noss I, 199Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling coin from the Electors of the Palatinate, made of silver, features an image of Philip, the Elector Palatine, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Palatinate on the other. The coin was minted from 1492 to 1495, during Philip's reign, and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. It's interesting to note that the coin's design was influenced by the Renaissance art movement, which was popular during that time period. The coin's detailed engravings and intricate designs reflect the artistic style of the era, making it a unique and beautiful piece of numismatic history.
