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 bottom of the shield ranges from smooth to pointy, and the exact lettering of the surrounding legend may vary.
