Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Kingdom of Württemberg is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of King William I, who ruled from 1839 to 1842, a period marked by the Revolutions of 1848, which saw widespread unrest and political revolutions across the continent. Despite this turmoil, the coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency in the German States.
