Interesting fact
The 2 Schillings coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Europe. The coin was minted in 1604, during the Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648 and involved many European states, including the Holy Roman Empire, of which the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg was a part. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a testament to the enduring power of commerce and trade, as it was used in everyday transactions and still holds historical value today.
