An Ausbeutemünze (pron. "ows-boy-ter-moonzer") lit. "salvage coin"), also often called an Ausbeutethaler because it was so common, is an historical European coin minted from metal extracted from the ore of a particular mining. By far the most common of such coins were made of silver.
These coins were normal legal tender, but differed from the usual because they had special images stamped on them and were often circulated at certain anniversaries. They were made by mines, for example, in the Harz Mountains. Harzer Münzen at schatzsucher.de. Retrieved 22 May 2022.
