Interesting fact
The Conventionskreuzer coin was minted during the reign of Wilhelm V, who was the last prince of Nassau-Dietz and the first Duke of Nassau. The coin was issued as part of a currency reform aimed at standardizing the coinage across the German states. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not widely accepted and had a relatively short circulation period. Today, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
