Comment
Coins of the Kipper period, devaluation period related to the 30 year war. The value of the Kreuzer to a Thaler was in reality much smaller.Interesting fact
The 12 Kipper Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg (Austrian States) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted in 1622, just a few years after the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) had begun, which had a profound impact on the economy and trade in the region. Despite the challenges of this time period, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, with intricate designs and inscriptions that reflect the cultural and artistic traditions of the time.
