1 Kreuzer

Regensburg's kreuzer issues of 1621–22 fall squarely within the monetary chaos of the Kipper- und Wipperzeit, the clipping and debasing frenzy that swept the Holy Roman Empire during the opening years of the Thirty Years' War. Mints across the Reich — including many that had no business striking coins — flooded circulation with debased small change, then refused to accept it back at face value. Regensburg, as a Free Imperial City with its own minting authority, was both participant and victim.

The Beckenbach references covering two die variants suggest production across both years was substantial enough to require multiple working dies.
