Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Bernard II, who was a member of the House of Saxe-Meiningen, a powerful noble family that ruled the duchy from 1680 to 1918. During this time, the German states were in the process of adopting the Prussian currency system, which would eventually become the standard for the entire country. The 1 Kreuzer coin, made of Billon with a small amount of silver, was a common denomination during this period and was used widely in everyday transactions. Despite its small value, the coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a glimpse into the economic and political history of 19th century Germany.
