Definition

• A name given to such coins and medals as are struck by one monarch to commemorate the reign and acts of his predecessor.

  They are usually issued very shortly after the demise of the preceding ruler, and in many instances contain both the portraits of him and his successor.

  The German equivalents are Sterbe Denkmunze, Sterbe Thaler, and Begrabniss Thaler.
