Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 48 Kipper Kreuzer coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in the Austrian Empire, specifically during the Kipper und Wipper inflation period, which lasted from 1621 to 1623. During this time, the value of coins fluctuated rapidly, and the empire's economy was in a state of crisis. Despite this, the 48 Kipper Kreuzer coin remained a widely used denomination and was valued at 1/48 of a gold gulden.
