Andreas Thaler Público Deposited
A silver coin issued by Ernst V of Hohnstein (1508-1552), which receives its name from the figure of the Saint on the reverse, and the inscription SANTVS ANDREAS.
The coins of the Dukes of Brunswick- Liineburg, which are also called Andreas Thaler, take this name from the mines at Andreasberg in the Harz Mountains from which the silver was obtained for coining them. See also under St. Andrew and St. Andries, infra.
Smaller coins of similar design are known as Andreas Gulden, Andreas Pfen- nige, etc.
