Zoefingen Coin List
The town of Zofingen, located in the canton of Aargau, Switzerland, has a rich numismatic history dating back to the Middle Ages. For centuries, this important town minted its own coins, reflecting its status as a commercial and political center in the Swiss canton region.
Monetary history of Zofingen
Zofingen began minting coins in the 12th century, when the town obtained the right of minting from the Holy Roman Empire. Initially, Zofingen coins were mainly silver pfennigs, known as "Zofinger Pfennige". These pfennigs were characterized by their simple design, often featuring a cross on the obverse and the name of the town or local symbols on the reverse. Over the centuries, the Zofingen mint produced a variety of denominations, including heller, kreuzer and batzen, adapting to the changing economic needs of the region and maintaining its importance as a monetary center in the Swiss Confederation.
Numismatic characteristics and legacy
Zofingen coins are highly prized by collectors due to their mintage quality and historical significance. Many of these pieces feature heraldic motifs related to the city, such as the coat of arms of Zofingen, which shows a diagonal band with three stars. During the period of the Old Swiss Confederation, Zofingen coins circulated widely in the region, contributing to the economic integration of the cantons. Although the Zofingen mint ceased production in the 19th century with the centralization of the Swiss monetary system, its numismatic legacy remains an important testimony to the autonomy and economic development of the Swiss cantons during the Middle Ages and the Modern Age.
