Interesting fact

The 12 Kreuzer coin from Strasbourg was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, known as the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). This conflict had a profound impact on the economy and currency of many regions, including Strasbourg, which was a free imperial city in the Holy Roman Empire. Despite the challenges of this period, the Strasbourg mint continued to produce high-quality coins, such as the 12 Kreuzer, which were widely used for trade and commerce.
