Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from Württemberg, issued in 1623 during the reign of John Frederick I, features an unusual design element - a small image of a horse on the reverse side. This horse symbolized the duchy's coat of arms and was a nod to the region's rich agricultural heritage. The inclusion of this image was a departure from the more traditional designs found on coins of the time, which often featured religious symbols or portraits of rulers. The horse design was a unique touch that set the Württemberg coin apart from others in circulation.
