Provenance

Where it came from

The 48-Kreuzer coin was minted in 1622 at the Klagenfurt mint in the Duchy of Carinthia during the height of the Kipper und Wipper period. This era was characterized by severe monetary debasement across the Holy Roman Empire, as rulers sought to finance the early years of the Thirty Years' War by reducing the silver content of their coinage to generate emergency funds.

Designed under the authority of Ferdinand II, these coins were part of an inflationary surge that disrupted local economies. The aesthetic follows the period's standard heraldic traditions, featuring the portrait of the Emperor or regional arms to solidify state legitimacy during a time of extreme fiscal instability. Due to their poor metallic composition, many were subsequently withdrawn or lost to recoinage, making survivors significant historical markers of the financial crises of the seventeenth century.
