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 Eugene, who was the Duke of Württemberg from 1744 to 1745. During this time, the European continent was experiencing significant economic and political upheaval, including the War of the Austrian Succession, which lasted from 1740 to 1748. Despite these challenges, the 1 Kreuzer coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout the German States.
