Interesting fact

The 1 Kreuzer 1624 coin from the City of Ulm was made of silver, which was a common material for coins during that time period. However, what makes this coin particularly interesting is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun in 1618, and the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving. Despite these challenges, the City of Ulm was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, including the 1 Kreuzer 1624. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Ulm during a time of great upheaval.
