Comment

Mintmaster - Hieronymus Arensburg

The 150 Taler coins with the overstamped date 1575 over 1573 where minted by Mintmaster Hieronymus Arensburg without the councils knowledge, as a result he was imprisoned for minting coins without authorisation.

Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the City of Einbeck (German States) made of Silver weighing 28.54g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Maximilian II (1564-1576), who was trying to standardize coinage across the Holy Roman Empire. This coin was one of the first standardized coins minted in the Empire, and it was used as a model for other coins in the region. Additionally, the coin's design features the coat of arms of the City of Einbeck, which is a unique feature compared to other coins of the time.
