Interesting fact

The 1 Kreuzer coin from the City of Worms was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, who ruled from 1658 to 1705. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was facing challenges from the growing power of neighboring nations such as France and Sweden, and the coinage of the empire was an important symbol of its economic and political strength. The 1 Kreuzer coin, made of silver and weighing 0.54 grams, was a widely used denomination during this time and played a significant role in facilitating trade and commerce within the empire.
