Interesting fact
The 12 Kreuzer coin from County of Hohnstein was minted in 1621 during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the Holy Roman Empire was struggling to maintain its power and influence. Despite these challenges, the County of Hohnstein was able to mint its own coins, including the 12 Kreuzer, which was made of silver and weighed 2.11 grams. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact from a significant period in European history.
