The 12 Kreuzer coin from Principality of Nassau-Weilburg was minted during the reign of Charles August, who was the last prince of Nassau-Weilburg before it was annexed by Prussia in 1866. The coin features an image of Charles August on one side and the Nassau-Weilburg coat of arms on the other. It's made of silver and weighs 3.24 grams, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
