Schilling

These schillings were struck by a machine called the "Walzwerk", which was like two large rolling pins. Because of the way these coins were struck, these coins do not have a variable alignment. With the exception of 1576, which seems to be exclusively struck in coin alignment, all other years were struck in medal alignment. The only year that is seemingly found in both alignments is 1577: the regular ones seem to be more often found in coin alignment, whereas the ones with inverted dates seem to be near equal. Many different varieties in the designs exist, including different castle shapes, different key rings, different crosses above the keys, different symbols separating the legends, and different heights of the dates' placements. If there is a design element, there is probably some sort of variety to it. While the exact details of the castles may vary, there were four basic shapes used throughout the years: Some sources list 1580 as an existing date; however, there is no evidence of schillings from that date existing. The exact lettering of the surrounding legend may vary, with Haljak varieties assigned based on punctuation as follows 1575 Haljak 954 is the only type with reverse legend MONETA NOVA RIGE(NSIS): 954a: MONETA NOVA RIGE 954b: MONETA NOVA RIGENSIS Haljak 955.
