Interesting fact
The 12 Kreuzer (Kipper) coin from the City of Rottweil (German States) made of Silver weighing 2.6g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Kipper era, which lasted from 1618 to 1623, was a period of rapid inflation and currency devaluation in the Holy Roman Empire, and this coin was one of the many issued during this time to try to combat the economic challenges of the time. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a tangible reminder of the complex economic and political climate of early 17th-century Europe.
