- Note
- A Scherf (also Schärff or scharfer Pfennig = "sharp pfennig") was a low-value silver coin used in Erfurt and other cities of the Holy Roman Empire from the Middle Ages to the 18th century. The name was later also given to a copper coin with a value of about half a pfennig. The simple scherf was only rarely minted; coins of 3, 6 and 12 scherf were more common, most recently in 1777 in Lüneburg.
