Weight varies: 3.93-3.96g.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Nassau is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1809, just a few years after the Napoleonic Wars had ended, and the German States were in the process of being reorganized. The Duchy of Nassau, which was a small state located in what is now the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, was one of the many German states that were affected by these changes. Despite the turmoil of the time, the 10 Kreuzers coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout the region.
