Comment
Herinek notes 4 variants of punctuation and legend.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Kipper Kreuzer coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change. The coin was issued in 1621, just a few years after the Thirty Years' War had begun, which had a profound impact on the empire's economy and trade. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, with intricate designs and inscriptions that reflect the cultural and artistic values of the time.
