Hoomann, Torben; 1000 Shillings. Shillings and farthings from Swedish-occupied Riga and Elbing and their counterfeits. Vol. 2: The Catalogue. Hamburg 2022. 29.7 cm x 21 cm, 3108 g. v, 739 S. Ppbd., neuwertig! – Especially during the first half of the Swedish occupation of Livonia and Elbing, huge quantities of small coins were needed in the region for trade and payment of the military. In the course of time, this money was distributed over large parts of Eastern Europe and is nowadays rediscovered both as stray finds and as hoards. The great variability of the features shows how many dies were used for minting at the time and gives an idea of the true quantities produced. Their extent would be impressive even today when modern minting methods are taken into account.
