Comment
Piloty 869Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Schilling - Sigismund of Sachsen ND (1440-1443) from Bishopric of Würzburg (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a crescent moon on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the Bishopric of Würzburg. This coin was minted during the reign of Sigismund of Saxony, who was the Bishop of Würzburg from 1440 to 1443. The use of the crescent moon symbol on the coin was a nod to the bishop's coat of arms, which featured a crescent moon and stars. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins minted during the same period and adds to its historical significance.
