Interesting fact
The 12 Kreuzer coin from Strasbourg was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) had caused widespread devastation and economic disruption, and many cities and states were struggling to maintain their economic stability. Despite these challenges, the City of Strasbourg was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, including the 12 Kreuzer coin, which was an important part of the local economy.
