Comment
Minted on a coin of Schleswig-Holstein-Schauenburg on a Doppelschilling coin where the coin had a value of 1/18.5 of a Taler.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Schillings (Countermarked) 1613-1616 from Archbishopric of Bremen (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Archbishop Johann Friedrich, who was instrumental in implementing reforms to the local economy and government. The coin's design features the Archbishop's coat of arms on one side and the image of a double-headed eagle on the other, symbolizing the dual authority of the Archbishop and the Holy Roman Empire. Despite its age, this coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
