| Aanvullende informatie |
Kempten's status as a free imperial city was perpetually contested — the city shared its territory with the Prince-Abbots of Kempten, a tension that periodically erupted into jurisdictional conflict throughout the early seventeenth century. This issue falls squarely within the Kipper und Wipper crisis, the catastrophic currency debasement that swept the Holy Roman Empire between roughly 1619 and 1623, leaving municipal mints scrambling to restore credibility with small silver issues as the worst of the inflation subsided.
The two-year production window suggests a limited, needs-driven run rather than a sustained civic minting program.
