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.

Quote:WHAT DOES PETER'S PENCE MEAN IN ENGLISH?
Peter's Pence is payment made voluntarily to the Roman Catholic Church. It began under the Saxons in England and is seen in other countries. Though formally discontinued in England at the time of the Reformation, a post-Reformation payment of uncertain characteristics is seen in some English manors into the 19th century. In 1871, Pope Pius IX formalized the practice of lay members of the church – and "other persons of good will" – providing financial support to the Roman See.

I find this a bit confusing since the plant seems to live a life of its own in more alchemy-oriented traditions. What I would like to learn is whether medieval names already included references to coins, specifically those of Judas, e.g. Silbertaler, Silberling, Judaspfennig, Médaille de Judas etc.
