Historical

Trade transactions in Germany were primarily conducted with thalers and ducats since the 16th century. On the other hand, pennies, groschen, kreuzers, guilders, shillings and parts of thalers became established in daily life for purchases at the weekly market, craftsmen and all other smaller transactions of the little and big man.

This coin is one of the most important coins and nominals of daily life in all parts of Germany from three centuries.
