| Beschrijving keerzijde | A wildman (Wilder Mann) stands facing, his body covered in foliage, grasping a tall uprooted oak tree in his right hand; the denomination mark '1Z' (for 12 Kreuzer) appears to his right in the field. Flowering plants grow at his feet. The figure is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the date 1620 prominently displayed at the top of the legend. The circumferential Latin motto legend runs around the periphery, punctuated by rosette stops. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hohnstein's 1620 twelve kreuzer issue falls squarely within the Kipper- und Wipperzeit — the catastrophic currency debasement crisis that swept the Holy Roman Empire between roughly 1619 and 1623. Minor territories across the Empire exploited the monetary chaos by striking overvalued small silver coins, then spending them before recipients could react to the discrepancy. Hohnstein, a small county in the Harz region, was among the opportunists.
The Kraaz collection reference for this type documents it as genuinely scarce today, which is somewhat paradoxical given how aggressively such coins were minted during the period.
