Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Kreuzer coin from the Free City of Regensburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, who ruled from 1658 to 1705. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was facing challenges from the growing power of neighboring nations such as France and Sweden, and the coinage of the empire was heavily debased to finance military campaigns. Despite these challenges, the ½ Kreuzer coin remained a stable and reliable form of currency, and its silver content made it a valuable commodity in trade and commerce.
