Interesting fact
The 2 Schilling coin from the City of Soest (German States) made of Copper weighing 3.4 g is interesting because it was minted during a time when the city was experiencing significant economic growth and cultural development. Soest was an important trading center in the 17th century, and the production of coins like this one reflects the city's increasing wealth and influence. Additionally, the fact that it was made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, suggests that it was intended for everyday use by ordinary people, rather than being a high-value coin reserved for the wealthy.
