Definição

• The name given to a series of counterfeit copper coins which originated in Frankfort a.M. in 1703, and were continued until 1822.

  Joseph and Fellner in their history of the coinage of this city give a list of these unauthorized pieces (Nos. 1990-2004). The issues from 1703 to 1807 are stamped 1 Theler; in 1809 appeared the 1 Atribuo, and in 1818 the one quarter Halbag. These are all rated at the value of one Pfennig.

  See also Spink (xi. 128) for an ex- haustive treatise on the subject.
