kwart taler; een eenheid, noodmunt uit Frankenthal, geslagen tijdens het beleg door Verdugo 1623

This silver coin, known as a "kwart taler," was minted in 1623 during the Siege of Frankenthal, a pivotal event in the Thirty Years' War. The coin's inscription highlights its purpose: "Kwart Taler Goudenst van d'se Stadt," signifying a quarter taler, the most valuable coin issued by the city. The design, featuring a triangle with a "F" at its apex and the year "1623" inscribed on one side, and the year "1623" alone on the other, is a striking example of the desperate measures taken during wartime. This small yet significant artifact serves as a reminder of the tumultuous period and the city's resilience during the siege.
