Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Electorate of Württemberg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1803-1804, just a few years before the Napoleonic Wars, which had a significant impact on the German states and their currencies. The fact that this coin was made of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, also speaks to the economic conditions of the time, as it was a more affordable material than pure silver or gold. Additionally, the coin's design, featuring Frederick II, the ruler of Württemberg at the time, highlights the importance of monarchies and their influence on currency during this period.
