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 48 Kipper Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg (Austrian States) made of Silver weighing 11.5g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the time of the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), which was a devastating conflict in Europe that lasted for three decades. Despite the war, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in trade and commerce.
