| Additional information |
The Kipper und Wipper crisis of 1619–1623 was one of the worst currency debasements in pre-modern European history, driven by dozens of German states and municipalities racing to mint debased coinage, collect good metal in exchange, and profit from the spread before the system collapsed. Einbeck was among the smaller municipal participants. The Schreckenberger denomination — already archaic by 1620 — was revived specifically for Kipper-period issues, lending a veneer of traditional legitimacy to what was essentially exploitative emergency coinage.
Buck Ei#65d identifies this as a specific die variant within Einbeck's narrow two-year window of production.
