Description

Denne mynten ble funnet 5. April 2000 i en blomsterkasse i skolegården ved Vikhammer skole. Mynten er en Joachimsthaler og måler 45 millimeter i diameter; veier nesten 27 gram og stammer fra år 1525. Thaleren har bilde av den bøhmiske løve på framsiden (adversen) samt en latinsk tekst som betyr «Ludvig I av Guds nåde konge av Böhmen». På baksiden (reversen, vist i bildet) er det bilde av en eldre mann som står over et våpenskjold. Mannen er St. Joachim, jomfru Marias far, mens teksten angir navnene på myntprodusentene.

Joachimsthaleren var en av de mest populære myntene fra senmiddelalderen og var brukt som internasjonal handelsmynt. I Norge, kan mynten spores tilbake til 1532, da den første «Joachimsdaller» var omtalt i norske kilder. Dette fremkommer i en kvittering fra Christian II til erkebiskop Olav Engelbrektssons sendemann, Trond Invarsson.

Det opprinnelige navnet «Joachimstaler» kommer fra stedet der den var produsert i Joachimsthal, Böhmen. I 1516 var det funnet store forekomster sølv her og i perioden eierne av bergverket hadde myntrett ble det produsert over to millioner mynter av denne typen.

The coin in the picture was found 5th of april, 2000 inside a flowerbed in the schoolyard of Vikhammer school. The coin is a Jachimsthaler and measures 45 millimeter in diameter; weighs almost 27 grams and is from the year 1525. The front has a picture of the “Lion of Böhmen”, and a latin inscription that translates to “Ludvig I on the mercy of God, King of Böhmen”. On the backside (here in the picture) there is a picture of an older man standing with a coat of arms. The man is St. Joachim, the father of virgin Mary, while the inscription refers to the names of the coin-producers.

The Joachimsthaler was one of the most popular coins from the late middle ages used in trade. In Norway, the first written sources we have on its presence stems from 1532 when it was mentioned in a receipt from Christian II to Archbishop Olav Engelbrektsson’s messenger, Trond Ivarsson.

The name “Joachimstaler” and the inscription comes from the where it was produced in Joachimsthal, Böhmen. In 1516 it was found large amounts of silver used in the production of this coin at the mine in Joachimsthal. The name has later been shortened to “thaler”, which in Scandinavia was translated into “daler” and in the United States, into “dollar”. During the decade, the mine had license to produce coins it made over two million coins of this type.
