Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Kreuzer coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in the region. The Kipper era, which lasted from 1618 to 1622, was marked by a severe economic crisis, including a shortage of coins and a devaluation of the currency. Despite these challenges, the 12 Kreuzer coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and its silver content made it a valuable commodity.
