Interesting fact
The Schilling coin was minted during the reign of John II Casimir Vasa, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1648 to 1668. The coin features the Tryzna arms, which were used by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during that time period. The Billon material used to make the coin is an alloy of silver and other metals, and it was a common material used for coins during that era. Despite its small weight of 0.53 grams, the coin still holds significant historical value and is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
