Circa 1635 Hans Krauwinckel Jeton (Reckoning Counter) Без бренда
Характеристики
Though the concept of the reckoning
counter is thought to have originated in France in the 13th century, Nuremberg,
Germany became a major supplier by the end of the 14th century. The Germans
called them rechenpfennige and by the 16th century the jeton trade was mostly
in the hands of a few families such as Laufer, Schultes and Krauwinckel. Their
names appear on one side of the jeton.
The most common of the renaissance
era manufacturers were the jetons of Hans Krauwinckel (1586 – 1635). The most
common design of the Krauwinckel jetons is a design of crowns and fleur-de-lis
on the obverse with the inscription HANS KRAUWINCKEL IN NUR (Hans Krauwinckel
in Nuremberg). The reverse shows a Reichsapfel, a cross on globe in a triglobe,
with the legend GOTT ALLEIN DIE EERE SEI, (roughly: G-d’s watching), a warning
about honest counting.
