Sechsling
The Sechsling, also ''Sößling'', ''Søsling'' (Dan./Norw.) or ''Sechser'', was the name of a type of coin with a value of six ''Pfennigs'', representing half a ''Groschen'' or half ''Schilling'' depending on the monetary system. The ''Sechsling'' was first minted in 1388 by the city of Lübeck. With the treaty (''Rezess'') of 1392, the ''Sechsling'' became part of the monetary system within in the Wendish Coinage Union and was thus a so-called 'Union coin' (''Vereinsmünze''). In addition to Lübeck, it was therefore issued by Hamburg, Lüneburg and Wismar. Other cities followed. The ''Sechsling'' was minted until the dissolution of the Wendish Coinage Union after the middle of the 16th century. In the following imperial minting ordinance (''Reichsmünzordnung''), which was based on the ''Thaler'', it was worth ''Thaler''. Hamburg minted the last ''Sechslings'' in 1855 from a billon alloy. Deriving from the Prussian silver groschen ( ''Thaler''), after the introduction ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wendish Coinage Union
The Wendish Coinage Union (''Wendischer Münzverein'') was an organisation bound by treaty formed by the North German Hanseatic towns from 1379 to the 16th century whose aim was to have standardised coinage regulations. The core cities involved were Lübeck, Hamburg, Wismar, Lüneburg, but they were joined for a time by Rostock, Stralsund and Hanover. The basis was the Lübeck Mark (''Lübische Mark''), from which coins known as State Marks ('' Staatsmark'') were struck from 1506 to 1530. Furthermore, a number of coin denominations were minted with fractional values of the Lübeck Mark. These were: * The Witten valued at 4 ''Pfennigs'', the ##Viertelwitten'' ( Witte, ''Hohlpfennigs'' ("hollow ''pfennigs''), * '' Dreilings, Sechslings, Blafferts'' * Various '' Schilling'' coins. Lüneburg also minted the so-called '' Wendenthaler'', which was also valid in the Coinage Union. The common symbol on the coins was a six-pointed star in the middle of a cross. This symbol was ...

Roter Seufzer
The ''Roter Seufzer'' ("red sigh"), also called the ''Seufzer'' and ''Leipziger Seufzer'', was the popular name of the inferior six-''pfennig'' coin minted in huge quantities in 1701 and 1702 by the Prince-Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, Augustus the Strong (1694–1733). The name of these coins was due to the loss that the population suffered as a result of the coins which had a high copper content. History In the years 1701 and 1702 the Leipzig Mint in the Electorate of Saxony minted large numbers of six-''pfennig'' pieces. These coins initially bore a thin layer of high-quality silver, which quickly wore out in circulation, revealing an almost copper-red coin. The ''Roter Seufzers'' were struck from just under 2 lots of silver (122/1000 silver; billon) and weighed 1.62 g. The coin inscription "LANDMÜNZ." meant that it was a state coin and therefore did not have to comply with the Imperial Minting Ordinance, which was actually the case. The design of the ''Roter Se ...

They have a common Obverse and reverse, reverse, portraying a map of Europe, but each country in the eurozone has its own design on the Obverse and reverse, obverse, which means that each coin has a variety of different designs in circulation at once. Four European microstates that are not members of the European Union (Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, and the Vatican City) use the euro as their currency and also have the right to mint coins with their own designs on the obverse side. The coins, and various €2 commemorative coins, commemorative coins, are minted at numerous national mints across the European Union to strict national quotas.

Silver Groschen
The ''Silbergroschen'' was a coin used in Prussia and several other German Confederation states in northern Germany during the 19th century, worth one thirtieth of a Thaler.Friedrich von Schrötter: ''Wörterbuch der Münzkunde.'' 2nd edn. 1970, p. 636. The first ''Silbergroschen'' was issued by the Electorate of Saxony in 1475. This series ended in the 1550s, but the coin was reintroduced in Prussia in 1821 and was adopted by over a dozen other kingdoms, duchies and principalities as they switched to using the Prussian currency system of 12 ''Pfennig'' = 1 ''Silbergroschen'', 30 ''Silbergroschen'' = 1 ''Thaler'' (name changed to '' Vereinsthaler'' after 1857). ''Silbergroschen'' were replaced with 10 ''Pfennig'' pieces when the German Empire decimalized following unification in 1871.

Billon Alloy
Billon () is an alloy of a precious metal (most commonly silver, but also gold) with a majority base metal content (such as copper). It is used chiefly for making coins, medals, and token coin In numismatics, token coins or trade tokens are coin-like objects used instead of coins. The field of token coins is part of exonumia and token coins are token money. Their denomination is shown or implied by size, color or shape. They are oft ...s. The word comes from the French language, French ''bille'', which means "log". History The use of billon coins dates from ancient Ancient Greek, Greece and continued through the Middle Ages. During the sixth and fifth centuries BC, some cities on Lesbos used coins made of 60% copper and 40% silver. In both ancient times and the Middle Ages, leaner mixtures were adopted, with less than 2% silver content. Billon coins are perhaps best known from the Roman Empire, where progressive debasements of the Roman ''denarius'' and the Roman provinc ...

Thaler
A thaler (; also taler, from german: Taler) is one of the large silver coins minted in the states and territories of the Holy Roman Empire and the Habsburg monarchy during the Early Modern period. A ''thaler'' size silver coin has a diameter of about and a weight of about 25 to 30 grams (roughly 1 ounce). The word is shortened from ''Joachimsthaler'', the original ''thaler'' coin minted in Joachimstal, Bohemia, from 1520. While the first standard coin of the Holy Roman Empire was the '' Guldengroschen'' of 1524, its longest-lived coin was the '' Reichsthaler (Reichstaler)'', which contained Cologne Mark of fine silver (or 25.984 g), and which was issued in various versions from 1566 to 1875. From the 17th century a lesser-valued '' North German thaler'' currency unit emerged, which by the 19th century became par with the '' Vereinsthaler''.
