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 6 Kipper Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "P" in the center, which stands for "Paris von Lodron," the name of the bishop who issued the coin in 1622. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "PARIS EPISCOPUS SALZBURGENSIS" (Bishop Paris of Salzburg). This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a notable piece in the history of numismatics.
