1 Schilling Teutonic Order

The Teutonic Order maintained its own mint and monetary system primarily during its territorial rule over Prussia, where it struck coinage as a sovereign power from the late thirteenth century until the secularization of the Prussian branch under Albert of Brandenburg-Ansbach in 1525. A gold-plated schilling warrants scrutiny: the Order's circulating issues were struck in silver, and plated examples of this type are almost certainly modern restrike or commemorative productions rather than period currency.
