| Additional information |
Simon VII ruled Lippe through the opening years of the Thirty Years' War, and the fractional thaler issues of 1621 reflect the monetary chaos that followed the Kipper- und Wipperzeit — a debasement crisis so destabilizing that mints across the Holy Roman Empire competed to shave metal from circulating coinage before the next city caught on. Lippe was not immune. The 1/21 thaler denomination itself is a product of that moment: an attempt to align local coinage with the debased Kipper-era reckoning of 21 groschen to the thaler rather than the traditional 24.
