Interesting fact
The 2 Schillings coin from the City of Stade (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.95g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a conflict that devastated much of Germany and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite this, the City of Stade was able to continue minting coins, such as this 2 Schillings coin, which was used as a means of exchange and commerce during this time. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Stade during a period of great upheaval.
