Dick Thaler 上市 Deposited
A name, like Dicken, employed to designate the thick characteristics of a coin, to distinguish it from the broad type. See Breite Groschen, and Gros.
The term Dick Groschen, or Nummi Grossi, was originally applied in the fourteenth century in France, Bohemia, Germany, etc., to coins of the Gros Tourois variety but struck on much thicker planchets.
The Dick Thaler of Tyrol, dated 1484 (Frey No. 260), is one of the earliest of these, and its small and thick fabric was imitated in a number of the German states, as well as in Denmark.
