Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Konventionskreuzer coin from the County of Hohenlohe-Neuenstein-Öhringen is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1774, just a few years before the German states began to adopt the Conventionsthaler as a standardized currency, which replaced the various local currencies that were in use at the time. This coin, made of Billon with a silver content of .187, was a transitional issue that reflected the shift towards a more standardized and modern monetary system.
