Comment

The Reichsbank Schilling was equivalent to the Danish rigsbank skilling.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 16 Reichsbank Schilling coin from the Danish duchies of Schleswig and Holstein is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick VI, who was the King of Denmark from 1808 to 1839. During his reign, there was a conflict between Denmark and the German Confederation over the ownership of the Schleswig and Holstein duchies. This conflict ultimately led to the First Schleswig War, which took place from 1848 to 1851. Despite this turmoil, the coin remained in circulation and is now a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
