Schinderling Publique Deposited
The nickname given to a base silver Pfennig issued in Austria from 1457 to 1460, and later in Salzburg and Bavaria. The word schinden means to fleece or extort, and these pieces were forced on the people at a fictitious value. About 1461 they were withdrawn from circulation at their actual value, i.e., one sixth of a pure silver Pfennig.
