This specimen was lot 2891 in Sincona sale 77 (Zurich, May 2022), where it sold for 400 CHF (about US$486 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE - AUSTRIA. Ferdinand II. 1619-1637. 48-Kipper Kreuzer 1621, Brünn. Münzmeister Hans Pecs, 1621-1622. Rückseitenumschrift mit BVR-MO.MA. Sehr schön. Prägeschwäche.'' ([[Austria]], Ferdinand II, 1619-37, 48 kipper kreuzer of 1621, Brunn mint. Very fine, Weakly struck.)"</blockquote> Kipper 24 kreuzer were struck at Brünn, Klagenfurt, Olmutz, St.-Veit, Vienna, Graz and Hall for the Hapsburg Ferdinand II. Altho nominally a two-thirds thaler, it is too light and is probably debased as well, being an inflationary issue (1620-24) of the Thirty Years War, along with six, 15, 24, 30, 48, 60, 75, 120, 150 and 300 groschen. Once the kipper period was over, there was a concerted effort to recall and melt down the debased issues, accounting for their rarity today.

Sincona sale 77, lot 2891

This specimen was lot 2891 in Sincona sale 77 (Zürich, May 2022), where it sold for 400 CHF (about US$486 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE - AUSTRIA. Ferdinand II. 1619-1637. 48-Kipper Kreuzer 1621, Brünn. Münzmeister Hans Pecs, 1621-1622. Rückseitenumschrift mit BVR-MO.MA. Sehr schön. Prägeschwäche. (Austria, Ferdinand II, 1619-37, 48 kipper kreuzer of 1621, Brunn mint. Very fine, Weakly struck.)"

Kipper 48 kreuzer were struck at Brünn, Klagenfurt, Olmutz, St.-Veit, Vienna, Graz and Hall for the Hapsburg emperor Ferdinand II. Altho nominally a two-thirds thaler, it is too light and is probably debased as well, being an inflationary issue (1620-24) of the Thirty Years War, along with six, 15, 24, 30, 48, 60, 75, 120, 150 and 300 groschen. Once the kipper period was over, there was a concerted effort to recall and melt down the debased issues, accounting for their rarity today.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver, this specimen 9.22 g.

Catalog reference: KM 311, Herinek 862a var. KM 312, also listed for Brünn, is a klippe.
