Numista tells that mint operated til 1670

I suspect that mint was operated by Prussia later. Even mint listing shows mint masters after 1670.

 

Mint marks on Prussian coins would indicate that it operated til at least 1878. Krauze “Standard catalog of German coins : 1601 to present” tells that B stands for Breslau or Bayreuth in Prussian coinage. Bundesbank tells that B stands for Hanover, which was part of Prussia after 1868.

 

It is unclear if Prussian gold marks after unification were minted in Breslau or in Hanover.

Thank you for catching this.

Yes, certainly Grand Duchy of Posen struck coins there in early 19th century, too:  N#79072

 

Maybe 1670 was just the last year it operated under thy Habsburgs?

 

I will changeend date  to 1878.  If someone comes with strong evidence it should be earlier or later, then we will review.

Also, coins were stuck there shortly after 1100 by Boleslaw III of Poland,, and in very large numbers by the 1160s, so the starting date will also be changed.
