Comments
Minted at the Limburg an der Lahn mint.
The weight and diameter of this type can vary greatly. The average weight is around 4.5 g. and the diameter varies from 22 mm to 25 mm.
The start of the legend is at 1 o'clock or 7 o'clock for some types.
The reverse of the 1810 vintage may have an oak crown with 12, 13 or 14 leaves (examples with 13 leaves are less common). See the 1/4 kreuzer KM#42 sheet for more information on the different types of crowns. The end of the oak wreath can be finished with 2 or 4 oak acorns, or without acorns.
Most variants feature the different Johann Lindenschmidt (L) on the reverse. Some exceptions have a larger L or no L at all.
The edge is generally smooth, although some pieces have finely striated edges or oblique striations.
The exact mintage of the various issues remains unknown. However, the weight in copper is listed, as well as the number of different dies:
- 1809: 1'378 kg. of copper used - 10 dies for the large module and 3 dies for the small module
- 1810: 2,165 kg of copper used - 19 different dies
- 1813: 1'069 kg of copper used - 3 different dies
