Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Abbey of Fulda, minted between 1723 and 1724, features an image of Constantine of Buttlar, the Prince-Abbot of Fulda at the time. What's interesting is that Constantine was not only a religious leader but also a skilled diplomat and politician who played a significant role in the political and religious conflicts of his time. He was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts and education. The coin itself is made of Billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in coinage during that period.
