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, when the duchy was annexed by the Kingdom of Bavaria. This period saw the introduction of new currency systems and economic reforms across Europe, and the 1 Kreuzer coin was part of a broader effort to standardize currency and facilitate trade across the German states. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a fascinating piece of history that reflects the complex economic and political landscape of early 19th-century Europe.
