Additional information

Enno III ruled East Frisia through one of the most turbulent stretches of the Thirty Years' War's opening phase, and his coinage reflects the monetary disorder of that moment. The Flindrich — a denomination peculiar to East Frisian issues — circulated in a region being squeezed between Dutch commercial interests and Imperial pressure, with currency debasement accelerating across the German territories after 1618. Kappelhoff 346 is the standard reference for this type, though die variations within the 1617–1623 run are not uncommon given the decentralized striking conditions of the period.
