1 Schilling

Nuremberg's schilling issues of the mid-fifteenth century were produced during a period when the city-state was aggressively consolidating its monetary authority against the competing coinage rights of the surrounding Franconian nobility. The 1457 date places this coin squarely within the tenure of the city's merchant oligarchy at the height of its commercial power, when Nuremberg sat at the crossroads of the Venetian and Flemish trade routes and needed reliable small silver to function as daily transactional currency.

Kelln 107 is among the scarcer die marriages in the schilling sequence, distinguished in Slg. Erl by flan preparation consistent with locally sourced Erzgebirge silver.
