Interesting fact
The 12 Kreuzer coin from the City of Korbach (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II, who was trying to standardize coinage across the German States. The 12 Kreuzer coin was one of the first standardized coins issued during this period, and it featured a unique design that included the city's coat of arms and a portrait of the emperor. This coin is a rare and valuable example of early modern coinage and is highly sought after by collectors.
