Since Pritzel has been mentioned (and I was the one who originally pointed to that book here in the forum), I should mention that I've now looked at Marzell's five-volume "Wörterbuch der deutschen Pflanzennamen", which Helmut Winkler recommended in another thread. Unfortunately, the preface of that book states that Pritzel's book is full of mistakes, and cannot be used as a reliable reference. This may be because it was edited posthumously, and the editor (Jessen) may have mixed up some notes. So I wouldn't trust anything in Pritzel's book unless it is confirmed by another source. Fortunately, the university library here has Marzell's book, I'll look if I can find anything relevant next time I'm there.

Good to know that. So actually with using Pritzel we can be misled by false negatives.

I have found and downloaded another book since then, which includes not only with German but with a few other languages, English included. I forgot its name though and can't find where I put it on my PC   It post-dates Pritzel.

Returning to the coins, I think that maybe the more general word "money" should be also tried, since back then money actually equalled coins.
