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 60 Kipper Kreuzer coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted in 1621-1622, during the reign of Paris von Lodron, the Prince-Bishop of Salzburg, who was known for his efforts to reform the economy and government of the bishopric. The coin's design, which features the coat of arms of Salzburg and the inscription "SALZBURG," reflects the region's rich history and cultural heritage. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the 60 Kipper Kreuzer is now a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians.
