Hans Krauwinckel and his son of the same name struck a great deal of beautiful tokens over the period of their lifetimes in the late renaissance period.
While the pieces are not coins, they are a form of tokens or jetons known as 'Rechenpfennige', or 'counting money', implying that they were used in place of valuable coins to assist in accounting.
They were struck by: Hans Krauwinckel I (from 1562 to 1586) Damian Krauwinckel, Hans' brother (from 1543 to 1581) Hans Krauwinckel II, Hans' son (from 1586 to 1635)
