This specimen was part of lot 22620 in Heritage sale 3010 (Boston, August 2010), which sold for $431.25. The catalog description[1] noted, "Mixed Lot of Thirteen Coins. We have here a very useful grouping of coins from ...Bremen, Hessen, Trier, and more. Grades range from Fine to UNC." The minor coinages of the German States are little studied compared to the gold and thalers. Many are common but many are much rarer than the catalog would indicate. This coin was worth half a grote with 72 groten in a thaler.
Recorded mintage: 196,000.
Specification: copper.
Catalog reference: KM-220.
