Not necessarily. In Dutch, the most common names are tuinjudaspenning and wilde judaspenning respectively for the garden (tuin) and wild varieties. Wiki: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

OK, that's good to know. - A German source says that lunaria annua has been cultivated in gardens since the Middle Ages. Lunaria rediviva is already known since the Middle Ages as growing outdoors ( same source ). Thus, in both cases it is quite possible that the trivial names ( Silbertaler, Silberling, Judaspfennig... ) originate from the Middle Ages. Already the term "taler" suggests a naming from 1486 on. From this time there were the first silbertaler. The term Judaspfennig could of course be older. Unfortunately, I can not find any evidence for this.

The shape of the pods is circular in Lunaria annua and elipsoid in Lunaria rediviva. So Lunaria annua looks more like a coin ( Taler or Pfennig ).
