Interesting fact

The 12 Kreuzer coin from the City of Hagenau, minted between 1665 and 1669, features a simple shield on the obverse (front) side, which was a departure from the more intricate coat of arms designs that were common on coins from the French States during that time period. This simpler design was likely a deliberate choice made by the mint to make the coin easier to produce and distinguish from other coins in circulation.
