Interesting fact

The 1 Schilling coin from Upper Palatinate (German States) made of Silver during the reign of Philip I (1500-1508) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin's silver content and its use of the Schilling denomination, which was a common currency in the Holy Roman Empire, reflect the growing influence of trade and commerce in the region during this period. Additionally, the coin's design, which features an image of Philip I, highlights the importance of the ruling dynasty and the role of the monarch in the minting of currency during this time.
