Bohemia 1619 3 kreuzer KM-219
This specimen was lot 3019 in Sincona sale 43 (Zürich, October 2017), where it sold for 700 CHF (aboout US$835 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"Stände von Böhmen und Mähren, 1619-1620 Kipper-3 Kreuzer 1619. Kuttenberg. Vorzüglich. Kleine Schrötlingsfehler am Rand. (Estates of Bohemia-Moravia, 1619-20, kipper three kreuzer of 1619, Kuttenberg mint. Extremely fine, Minor planchet defect at the rim.)"
Kipper three kreuzer were struck at Kuttenberg (shown here) and Joachimsthal (KM 220) for the Protestant Frederick V. Altho nominally 1/24 thaler, it is too light and is probably debased as well, being an inflationary issue (1620-24) of the Thirty Years War.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
