Interesting fact
The 12 Kreuzer coin from the City of Worms was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the coinage of many German states, including the City of Worms. As a result, the 12 Kreuzer coin was minted with a unique design that reflected the political and economic climate of the time. The coin features a depiction of the city's coat of arms on one side and the image of a crowned eagle on the other, symbolizing the city's allegiance to the Holy Roman Empire. Despite the challenges of the time, the 12 Kreuzer coin from the City of Worms remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
