The Weckeler, also called a Weckelerpfennig, is a one-sided silver Palatinepfennig coin of the 14th and 15th century, which was also called the Wegkpfennig in the local dialect. It occurs both as a Schüsselpfennig and as a non-domed, planar coin. The pfennigs were given their contemporary name after their image, a lozenged coat of arms.[1][2]
This pfennig, with its ring of pearls around a central lozenged shield or just a lozenge without a shield, developed into the bowl-shaped Schüsselpfennig in the 15th century. The Weckeler was struck on one side only using a coin die smaller than the actual planchet. The force of the die stamp caused the perimeter of the planchet to curve upwards to a greater or lesser extent.[3]
