Interesting fact
The 2 Schillings coin from the Bishopric of Ratzeburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.83g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun in 1618, and the coin's minting was likely a response to the need for a stable currency during this tumultuous period.
