Interesting fact
The Schilling coin featuring Wilhelm Rink von Baldenstein, produced between 1622 and 1624, is notable for its unique design. One fascinating aspect is the use of Billon, a metal alloy consisting of a combination of copper, silver, and other metals, which was commonly used in the production of coins during that time period. Despite its relatively low weight of 0.66 grams, the coin's historical significance and rarity make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
