Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Kreuzers coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1795, just a few years before the French Revolution, which had a profound impact on the European monetary system. The 10 Kreuzers coin was part of a broader effort to standardize currency across the German States, and it features an image of Frederick Charles Joseph of Erthal, the Archbishop of Mainz, on one side and the coat of arms of the Archbishopric on the other. Despite being minted over 200 years ago, some of these coins still exist today and are highly sought after by collectors.
