A rare legend variant of the new shellacs (with a long cross) by Michael Kuchmeister.
Distinguished by a symmetrical, abbreviated arrangement of legends - three letters per field.
The obverse: MAG | MIC | hAE | PRI, and the reverse: MOn | ETA | oDNO | PRVo. The letters themselves are also larger than typical for these shillings.
Gently bent.
After unsuccessful attempts at reform, during a period of high prices that caused riots in Gdansk and the closure of the mint there, a new ordinance was agreed on July 7. The document was promulgated by the grand master as early as August 24, 1416, which began a period of two currencies.
It introduced new shekels, in fine silver, characterized by a long cross extending beyond the monastic shield. Their exchange rate was set at two "old", "inflationary" Michael's shekels each.
