Comment
K۰R۰ = Georg Knoll and Georg RiednerInteresting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Joseph II, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design features the imperial eagle on one side and the Nuremberg coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the city's status as a free imperial city within the empire. Despite its small denomination, the coin was made of billon, a silver-copper alloy, which was a common material for coins at the time. Today, the 1 Kreuzer coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
