Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Schillings - John Frederick (Kipper) 1622-1623 from Duchy of Württemberg (Württemberg, German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the coinage of many German states, including Württemberg, was heavily debased to finance the war effort. Despite this, the 2 Schillings coin remained a stable denomination and was widely used throughout the region. Its silver content also made it a popular trade coin, and it was often used to purchase goods and services from neighboring regions.
