Comments
(en) The Wenzel mine was operated sporadically from the 14th century until it was considered to be played out in 1823. One of the heaviest periods of activity began in 1760 under the leadership of Johann Martin Kapf, producing enough ore that the St. Wenzel Mining Company was founded in 1765. The largest ore deposit ever found in the mine was discovered in 1767, the year this piece was struck. It was a vein nearly 80 meters long and was excavated through 1771. As with most Löser produced during times of abundant ore production, this type would have been sold to a landowner with the express purpose of redemption back to the treasury in the event specie was required by war or crisis.
