Blaffert

In Switzerland it was the largest silver coin at this time until the introduction of the Dicken in 1482 and was replaced by the Batzen from the beginning of the 16th century.

According to the Stadt Düsseldorffischen Policey- und Tax-Ordnung of 7 July 1706, drawn up by Duke John William, 1 Reichsthaler was worth 8 schillings or 60 Stübers or 20 Blafferts.

[2] The author from Lüttringhausen also mentioned this term in Daniel Schürmann's Practischem Schulbuch zur allgemeinen Rechenkunst und Geometrie.

On 1 December 1738, the Imperial Commission Decree (Kommissionsdecret) of Emperor Charles VI, associated with the recognition of the Leipzig standard as the new imperial coin standard, the Lower Rhine Blaffert was mentioned as a division of the Thaler permitted in the Empire and as a double Blaffert was a currency coin worth 9 Kreuzers.

[3] Stemming from northern Germany, under Archbishop Erik Valkendorf (1510–1522) in Nidaros (present day Trondheim) unilaterally minted Blafferts worth 2 Pfennigs or 1⁄6 Norwegian Schilling were struck.
