Interesting fact

The 2 Schillings 1600 coin from the City of Hildesheim (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and it features an image of the city's patron saint, St. Godehard, on one side, and the coat of arms of Hildesheim on the other.
