Bauerngroschen Público Deposited
i.e., Peasant 's Gros- chen. A name given to the silver Groschen of Goslar on account of their poor execu- tion. These coins bore the figures of Judas with a staff and Simon holding a saw, and they were supposed to bear a resemblance to two peasants. The Bauerngroschen were originally struck about the middle of the fifteenth century, and were of the value of twelve Pfennig.
