Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from the County of Montbéliard (French States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and many countries were still recovering from the devastation. Despite this, the County of Montbéliard was able to produce a coin that was not only beautiful but also represented the wealth and power of the region. The coin's design features Louis Frederick, the ruler of the county, and the silver content of the coin made it a valuable and sought-after currency. This coin is a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of Montbéliard during a difficult time in history.
