Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Nassau is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1861, just a few years before the formation of the North German Confederation in 1867, which would eventually lead to the unification of Germany under a single government in 1871. This period of change and transition is reflected in the coin's design, which features an image of Adolph, the ruling Duke of Nassau, on one side, and a depiction of the Nassau coat of arms on the other. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is a fascinating piece of history that offers a glimpse into the complex political and economic landscape of 19th-century Germany.
