Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Grand Duchy of Würzburg is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1808, just a few years after the Napoleonic Wars had ended, and the German States were in the process of being reorganized under the Congress of Vienna. This coin, made of silver, was a standard circulation coin during that time and features Ferdinand of Austria on one side and the coat of arms of Würzburg on the other. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history.
