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, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the coinage of many German states, including Nuremberg. As a result, the 1 Kreuzer coin was minted with a lower silver content than previous issues, reflecting the economic challenges of the time. Despite this, the coin remained a popular and widely used denomination throughout the 17th century.
