1 Schilling - Christopher I

Christopher I ruled Baden at a moment when the southwestern German mints were still navigating the fractured coinage agreements that followed the Reichsmünzordnung attempts of the late 15th century. His reign ended with his death in 1527, but this Schilling issue from 1504–1509 falls within his consolidation of Baden-Baden territory after the margraviate had been partitioned and partially reunified across the preceding generation. The MB#20 reference places it within a small documented series; surviving examples in any condition are infrequently encountered at auction.
