Comments

(en) In 1525, the silver content of the Schilling was dropped from .281 to .1875. As a result, the subdivisions changed: after 1525, there were 12 Schillings in 1 Ferding rather than the usual 9.

The top of the shield ranged from round to nearly flat, the bottom of the shield ranges from smooth to pointy, and the exact lettering of the surrounding legend may vary.
