This specimen was lot 4667 in Künker sale 335 (Osnabruck, Germany, March 2020), where it sold for €600 (about US$785 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''RÖMISCH-DEUTSCHES REICH. Friedrich von der Pfalz (der Winterkönig), 1619-1621. Kipper-48 Kreuzer 1620, Prag. Münzmeister P. Skréta Sotnovsky. Hübsche Patina, sehr schön.'' ([[Austria|Holy Roman Empire]], Frederick of the Palatinate, the "Winter King", 1619-21, kipper 48 kreuzer of 1620, Prague mint. Handsome patina, very fine.)"</blockquote> The ''kipperzeit'' was a period (1619-24) when many princes of the empire reaped large profits by issuing debased and light weight coinage. Nowhere was this done more enthusiastically than in [[Bohemia]], site of the early fighting of the Thirty Years War. Frederick V, the "Winter King" did it first, until his overthrow in 1620. Emperor Ferdinand II followed his example, tho he should have known better. This 48 kreuzer was minted in 1620 in Prague (shown here), Kuttenberg (KM 252) and Joachimsthal (KM 253). It has the same weight as 36 kreuzer of the prewar standard.
