Rare 1760 German Counterfeit Coin Anti-Jewish Broadside
February 19, 1760-Dated, Printed Broadside Document, German Coin Edict Regarding Counterfeit Money claimed to be circulated by Jewish Settlers, Choice Extremely Fine.
This original Printed Broadside Document is in German, measures a large 12.5” x 14.5” in size and is dated in 1760. (We have a partial idea of its content, to the best of our ability in translating German.) This impressive Broadside is regarding an edict that Christian and Jewish settlers are bringing into the country and circulating poor quality and “filled” coins (filled with lead not solid Silver) into the country and are then taking out their high quality coinage. There is harsh corporal punishment to be administered and under some circumstances the Death penalty. Confiscation of all the money will take place from suspects and this edict is issued from the Ministry of finance. The deep black printed text in on clean period plaid paper and it is fully upon the paper, being excellent for display.
