Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Schreckenberger (Kipper) ND (1620-1621) from City of Einbeck (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The Thirty Years War had just begun in 1618 and would last until 1648, causing widespread destruction and disrupting trade routes. Despite these challenges, the City of Einbeck continued to mint coins, such as the Schreckenberger, which was used as a medium of exchange and a store of value. The fact that this coin was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, speaks to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Einbeck during this difficult period in history.
