History of the SCHERF

 


 

Deutsch/German >>>




Scherf  from the time of the
Carolingians (8th - 9th century)

THE FIRST SCHERF

A SCHERF was a halfpenny or obol from the time of the Carolingians (8th and 9th century). The name comes from the Latin "scripulum" (a small rock) meaning the smallest part of a measure or weight. "Scripulum" is the popular version of "scrupulum."

In popular speech the expression was applied to small coins in general. The name changed from "scrip," "scirp," "scerp" to Old High German "scerpf" and to Middle High German of "scherpf" and "scherff"  to the final version of SCHERF (the smallest coin).


SCHERF FROM 1570 - 1777 A.D.

This is the front and back of a very rare coin called the SCHERF which was issued and used in Germany in the towns of Lübeck and Erfurt around 1570 - 1621 A.D.

Later and until the year 1777, in the town of Lüneburg (Germany), SCHERF coins were frequently issued as a 3, 6 and 12 SCHERF. The SCHERF was first used as a silver coin of little value and later as a copper coin in value of a halfpenny.

Contributing a "Scherflein"

If someone gives his "Scherflein" as a contribution to something, it means that he gives a little money or other small gift to a greater whole. "Scherflein" is the diminutive form of SCHERF.
