Aanvullende informatie

The 1625 date places this squarely within the Kipper und Wipperzeit — the catastrophic currency debasement that swept the Holy Roman Empire in the early Thirty Years' War. Mints across Silesia, including ecclesiastical operations like Neisse under the Bishopric of Breslau, churned out debased billon petty coinage to capitalize on the arbitrage between face value and metal content. The Bishopric's temporal authority over the Neisse mint gave it unusual latitude to participate in what amounted to an empire-wide monetary fraud.

By 1625 the worst of the Kipper crisis had nominally subsided, but the flood of underweight small denominations had already gutted public confidence in the pfennig series across the region.
