The 24 Kreuzer denomination was a creature of the Kipper- und Wipperzeit — the currency crisis of 1619–1623 in which dozens of German mints, including minor imperial lordships like Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, debased their coinage aggressively to profit from the chaos. Princes would strike overvalued silver coins, flood neighboring territories with them, and withdraw good coin in exchange. The 4-gram weight on this piece is already telling: legitimate 24 Kreuzer coins of earlier decades ran heavier.
Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen's participation in this monetary free-for-all was brief but documented.
