Commentary

Les Judenpfennige, également appelés Frankfurter Judenpfennige ou Rheinische Judenpfennige, étaient des pièces de monnaie de faible valeur nominale frappées par des particuliers et mises en circulation en grande quantité au début du XIXe siècle dans le royaume de Prusse, notamment à Francfort-sur-le-Main et en Rhénanie. Le terme "Judenpfennig" était déjà utilisé dans le langage courant pour désigner des pièces de monnaie de faible valeur. Le terme provient probablement de l’impôt de capitation payé par les juifs à l’empereur à partir de 1215 qui leur garantissait protection contre paiement.
Judenpfennige, also known as Frankfurter Judenpfennige or Rheinische Judenpfennige, were low-denomination coins minted by private individuals and put into circulation in large quantities at the beginning of the 19th century in the Kingdom of Prussia, particularly in Frankfurt am Main and the Rhineland. The term \\\"Judenpfennig\\\" was already in common use for low-denomination coins. The term probably originates from the poll tax paid by Jews to the emperor from 1215 onwards, which guaranteed them protection in return for payment.
