Hello,
I recently discovered a 1659 Schilling in my collection, minted in Königsberg under Elector Frederick William of Brandenburg.
Based on my research, it seems to match Bahrfeld 1613 (similar stamp to 1610 variant) and is also listed in Schrötter 1917.
The recorded mintage is approximately 47,000 pieces.
I couldn’t find any similar examples online, so I would greatly appreciate your opinions on:
Whether this identification is correct
Any details about rarity or known surviving examples
Any information about the specific stamp type
Just checking if anyone has seen a similar 1659 Königsberg Schilling before – any thoughts would be appreciated!
Nominal: 1 Schilling
I have included photos of both sides of the coin. Any insights or comments would be very helpful.
Thank you in advance for your help!
