Comments

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 exact lettering of the surrounding legend may vary.

1) MO · NO · ARCH · P · RIGEN · 1535 / MO · ECLESIE · RIGENSIS ·
2) MO · NO · ARCH · P · RIGE · 1535 / MO · ECLESIE · RIGENSI ·
