Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Free City of Augsburg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1766, just a few years before the outbreak of the American Revolution, and during a period of increased trade and commerce between European nations. The coin's design, which features the coat of arms of the Free City of Augsburg on one side and the image of a crowned eagle on the other, reflects the city's status as a free imperial city within the Holy Roman Empire. Despite its small denomination, the coin played an important role in the local economy and was used in everyday transactions throughout the region. Today, the 1 Kreuzer coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the economic and political history of Europe during this time period.
