Interesting fact
The 2 Schillings coin from the Bishopric of Ratzeburg (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was issued 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 these challenges, the Bishopric of Ratzeburg was able to maintain its independence and issue its own currency, which is a testament to the region's resilience and resourcefulness.
