Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Kreuzer coin from Duchy of Württemberg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1791, just a few years before the French Revolution, which had a significant impact on the European monetary system. The coin's mintage was also a response to the growing need for small denomination coins for everyday transactions, as the economy shifted towards a more commercialized and urbanized society.
