Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer - Ferdinand 1808 coin from the Grand Duchy of Würzburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Ferdinand III, who was the Grand Duke of Würzburg from 1803 until 1806, and then again from 1814 until his death in 1824. During this time, the German States were undergoing significant political and economic reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system. The 1 Kreuzer coin was part of this new system and was used widely throughout the region. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a valuable piece of history and a reminder of the complex economic and political landscape of 19th century Europe.
