| Additional information |
Goldberg (now Złotoryja, Poland) struck emergency copper coinage during the Kipper- und Wipperzeit — the catastrophic currency crisis of 1619–1623 in which hundreds of German mints, large and small, debased coinage so aggressively that monetary trust across the Holy Roman Empire effectively collapsed. Municipal issues like this one flooded markets precisely because larger minting authorities had destroyed confidence in their own output.
Friedensburg 3555 is the standard reference for Silesian notgeld-adjacent issues of this period. Goldberg's civic mint was short-lived under these circumstances.
