Interesting fact
The ½ Kreuzer coin from the Free City of Augsburg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies. The Free City of Augsburg, which was a wealthy and influential city in the region, began minting its own coins to help facilitate trade and commerce. The ½ Kreuzer coin was one of the coins minted during this time, and it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal. Despite the challenges faced by the city and the region, the ½ Kreuzer coin remains a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Augsburg during this period.
