Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Kingdom of Württemberg is that it was designed by the famous German engraver and medalist, Karl Friedrich Voigt. Voigt was known for his intricate designs and attention to detail, which can be seen in the coin's depiction of King William I on the obverse side. The reverse side of the coin features the coat of arms of Württemberg, which was also designed by Voigt. This coin is a great example of the craftsmanship and artistry that went into the production of coins during this time period.
