Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles Alexander, who was the Duke of Württemberg from 1734 to 1736. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved, and many German states, including Württemberg, gained greater autonomy. The coin's design, which features an image of Charles Alexander on one side and the Württemberg coat of arms on the other, reflects the political and cultural influences of the time. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, speaks to the economic importance of the region and the coin's intended use as a medium of exchange.
