Rudolf Philipp Wahl (1682-1769)

"Wahl, Rudolf Philipp (Germ.). Medallist and Coin-engraver of the eighteenth century; probably a relative of George William Wahl. He was a native of Clausthal (Hanover), and a pupil of Christian Wermuth. He held an appointment of Engraver to the House of Saxe-Eisenach and also at the Mint of Zellerfield. One of his earliest works on record is dated 1729, and he was still Diecutter at Zellerfeld on 2. December 1769, the date of the following interesting document, mentioned by E. Fiala (Die Münzmeister der Herzogl. Communion-Münzstätte zu Zellerfeld (Zeits. für Numismatik, 1904, p. 160): "Unter dem 2. Dezember 1769 meldete Münzmeister J. A. Pfeffer in einem besondern Berichte, dass Eisenschneider Wahl in Nr. 10 dieses Quartals aus ohnbekannten Absichte auf den hannoverschen 2/3 Thalern die Zal 24 g. nicht allein ausgelassen, sondern auch gegen seine Instruktion mit keinen Abdruck eingeliefert, da nun 67 Mark damit abgeprägt worden und also wiederum als ohndauchlich zu meine sowohl als Müntz-Ohms Schaden 5 Thaler 14 Gr. 4 Pf. verursacht hat". The defective coins had to be remelted and Wahl was made to pay for the loss thus incurred." - Leonard Forrer, Biographical Dictionary of Medallists, Bd. 6, London 1916, S. 344
