Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Free City of Regensburg (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the period of the Holy Roman Empire, which was a loose confederation of German states that existed from the 10th to the 19th century. The Regensburg mint was one of the many mints that produced coins for the Empire, and the 1 Kreuzer coin was one of the most widely used denominations. Despite the political and economic changes that occurred during this time, the 1 Kreuzer coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and it continued to be used long after the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806.
