Interesting fact

The 2 Schillings coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 2.08 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of John, who was the Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg from 1618 to 1619. This was a period of significant economic growth and trade in the region, and the coin was likely used for everyday transactions and commerce. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, speaks to the importance of the coin and the efforts of the Duchy to produce a high-quality currency.
