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
One interesting fact about the 120 Kipper Kreuzer coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued by the Bishopric of Salzburg, which was a powerful and influential state in the Austrian region. The coin's design features Paris von Lodron, a prominent figure in Salzburg's history, and its silver content makes it a valuable and sought-after collector's item. Despite its age, the coin remains in relatively good condition, making it a testament to the craftsmanship and durability of the time.
