KRUG, HANS (JUNIOR) (Germ.). Goldsmith and Mint-engraver at Nuremberg; died in December, 1518. He was appointed Diecutter at the Mint in 1513 (auf absteen Hannssen Craffts ist der Jung Hanns krug Goltschmied zu ainem eyssengraber ertailt und sol im acht guldin zu russgelt gegeben werden). Mint documents of 1517 again mention the Die-cutter Hans Krug the younger, and one of 1519, states that Hans Krug the younger having died in December 1518, the Town Council of Nuremberg resorted again to Hans Krafft, who had been Mint-engraver from 1509 to 1513. Hans Krug Junior worked for the Prince-Elector of Saxony, and according to Dr Ehrenberg, he is probably the author of the following coins and medals, reproduced in Tentzel L. E. Pl. I, Nos I-IV; 2, Nos I, II, v; 3, I—III : Thaler of 1507, Arms and Eagle; — Half Thaler, of same date; — Quarter-Thaler, with bare head of the Elector Frederick III. ; — Another, with head in bonnet ; — Double Thaler, and Thaler (type of the coin reproduced above) of various dates, and undated, &c.
