Interesting fact
The 2 Schillings coin from the City of Stade (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.03g is interesting because it was minted during a time when the German States were still using a variety of different currencies, and this coin was one of the few standardized coins that were widely accepted across the region. This coin was also minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, and its production was likely influenced by the ongoing Thirty Years War.
