Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from Nuremberg 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, including Nuremberg, were struggling to rebuild their economies. As a result, the minting of coins became an important way for cities like Nuremberg to generate revenue and stimulate trade. The 1 Kreuzer coin was one of the most widely used coins in circulation during this time, and its silver content made it a valuable and reliable form of currency.
