Interesting fact
The 6 Schilling coin from the Bishopric of Lübeck (German States) made of Silver 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 Christian August, who was the Bishop of Lübeck from 1723 to 1725. This was a period of significant economic growth and trade in the region, and the coin was likely used for everyday transactions and commerce. The fact that it was made of silver also speaks to the value and importance of the coin at the time, as silver was a highly valued and sought-after metal.
