Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Kingdom of Prussia (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick William II, who was known for his efforts to modernize and strengthen the Prussian state. The coin's composition of Billon, a mixture of copper and silver, was also a common practice during this time period, as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable for the masses. This coin's weight of 0.76 grams is also notable, as it was a standard weight for coins of this denomination during this time.
