Catalogue of European Mints 179
Daventer. Zvrich, Zv. Reip. Tigvrina or Thvricensis, Moneta Tigurina.
Among the rarer products of this mint may be cited a gold coin struck
in the reign of Charles le Gros, with Mon. Nova Av. Thvricesis on obv.,
and on rev. Civitas Imperial; a dicken of 1504, a thaler of 1512, of which
there are varieties, and others of 1526, 1558, and 3-thaler klippe of 1559.
All of these belong to the imperial epoch. The thaler and ^ thaler of
1773 are also said to be uncommon, especially the latter.
Zutphen, Gelderland, on the Yssel, the probable place of origin of a
briquet of Charles le Temeraire, Duke of Burgundy, 1475, having as a
mint-mark a lion running to left. Sch., xv. 200. Other pieces struck here
in billon and copper occur. It was an occasional mint of the Spanish
rulers. During the siege by the Spaniards in 1586 the town issued 3
stuivers or sols in lead and copper.
Zweibriiggen, Bavaria, formerly in the Palatinate, apparently the
source of a thaler of 1623, with the titles of the Duke of Juliers, CleVes,
Berg, Mark, Ravensperg, and Ravenstein.
Zwolle, a mint at which convention-money was struck in the i6th c.,
prior to 1576, in pursuance of the treaty between it, Campen, and Daventer.
Also an imperial and civic mint in the i6th and I7th c. A grosch of
the German type was struck here in 1601. A silver coin of Zwolle,
apparently money of necessity, struck on a square flan, bears on obv.
Zwollae 96 [1596], and on rev. a shield with the legend Devs. Refvgivm
Nostrum.
