Context

Coin minted at the Weilburg mint. 16 Heller = 4 Kreuzer = 1/15 Gulden = 1/22.5 Thaler The successor to master coiner Ernst Dietrich Croll (initials EDC or EC) was Friedrich Siegmund Schäfer (initials FS). From the second half of 1751, coins with the initials FS but with the year 1749 were minted. The years 1750 FS and 1751 FS followed a little later. The initials FN next to the crown refer to the principality (Fürstentum Nassau-Weilburg). Isenbeck# 109 This is an automatic translation. The original text is: Pièce frappée à l'atelier monétaire de Weilburg. 16 Heller = 4 Kreuzer = 1/15 Gulden = 1/22,5 Thaler Le successeur du maître monnayeur Ernst Dietrich Croll (initiales EDC ou EC) était Friedrich Siegmund Schäfer (initiales FS). A partir de la deuxième moitié de l'année 1751 furent frappées de pièces aux initiales FS mais avec le millésime de 1749. Un peu plus tard suivaient les millésimes 1750 FS et 1751 FS. Les initiales FN accostant la couronne désignent la principauté (Fürstentum Nassau-Weilburg) Isenbeck# 109
