Kippertaler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As tipper Credits the embossed 1620-1623 defieient are coins of the tipper and Wipperdorf inflation designated on which a multiple in dime or cruiser is impressed as the value designation.

Explanation

Tipper coins are interim or customary coins , i.e. coins with temporary validity. The so-called Kippertaler, which were inferior in value, did not correspond to the Augsburg Imperial Coin Order of the Holy Roman Empire of August 19, 1559. The minters had the good money melted down and falsified, low-value money minted. Since the value of the Kippertaler is given in groschen or kreuzer, they could not be objected to, because they were therefore not talers or their parts that had to comply with the Reich coin order, but groschen or kreuzer pieces, i.e. land coins that were only available in their own country Had validity and were not subject to the imperial law .

About the real value and the actual fineness of taler-like character, such as the Saxon Tipper Taler to 20, 30, 40 and 60 dimes, no more files are recordings that can report it.

Kippertaler had the Roman-German Emperor , the Elector of Saxony , the Duke of Bavaria , the Archbishop of Salzburg and other imperial estates minted. The huge mass of Kipper coins, which were minted in the time of money falsification , the Kipper and Wipper times , however, consisted of smaller coins.

The depicted 60 groschen piece by Johann Georg I (1611–1656), Elector of Saxony , is described in more detail as an example of the minting of so-called Kippertaler . The 60 groschen piece (Kippertaler to 60 Groschen) from 1622, also called Engeltaler, consists of a low-grade silver alloy, diameter 42 mm, weight 23.01 g and comes from the Dresden mint . On the front you can see an angel holding the two-field Kurschild, underneath the value (60 groschen). The reverse shows two angels holding the shields Cleve, Jülich and Berg, above them the year 1622 and the mint master's mark “Auffliegender Schwan” of the mint master Heinrich von Rehnen.

The attempt was made to make the mint popular by imprinting the coin image of the Schreckenbergers or angel groschen, which were particularly highly regarded at the time .
