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 Germany. The coin was introduced in 1858, just a few years before the outbreak of the Austro-Prussian War, which would ultimately lead to the unification of Germany under Prussian rule. Despite this tumultuous period, the coin remained in circulation until 1864, when it was replaced by the German Empire's standardized currency. This coin is a small but tangible reminder of the complex history of Germany during this time.
