KLEIN (Germ.). Medallist, who worked at Breslau, circa 1755- 1762. Friedensburg, Münzgeschichte Schlesiens, remarks : " In the middle years of the eighteenth century, a Die-sinker of the name of Klein was working at Breslau, and signed in full a rare medal of 1762 on the Battle of Freiberg (Peace of Hamburg between Sweden and Prussia). I have however been unable to obtain any other information about him, and do not know whether he perhaps also signed Silesian medals with a K only. He may have been the Court Goldsmith, Daniel Klein, or Tobias Klein, Assayer at the Breslau Mint, 1736-1741." Bibliography. — Fridensburg, op. cit.— Hildebrand, op. cit.
