1/2 Kreuzer - Wolfgang William

正面描述	Three small shields of arms arranged two above one: the upper-left shield bears a lion rampant, the upper-right shield displays the Bavarian lozengy pattern, and the lower shield depicts a figure (wolf) in a smaller roundel. A princely crown surmounts the two upper shields, with the date divided to either side of the crown within the field. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded or rope-twist border.

附加信息	Wolfgang Wilhelm converted to Catholicism in 1613 — a calculated move to secure his inheritance of Jülich-Berg following the disputed succession crisis that had nearly triggered a major European war three years earlier. His half-kreuzer issues of the 1620s fall squarely within the Kipper und Wipperzeit, the currency debasement crisis that swept the Empire between roughly 1619 and 1623, though by 1624 most territories were attempting restabilization. That this piece is silver at all speaks to the post-Kipper recovery period rather than the chaos that preceded it.
