Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The County of Hanau-Münzenberg, where the coin was minted, was a small territory located in the present-day state of Hesse, Germany. In the early 17th century, the county was facing significant economic challenges, including a shortage of coinage and a lack of silver reserves. To address these issues, the county's ruler, Philip Louis II, introduced a new coinage system that included the 12 Kreuzer coin, which was made of silver and weighed 4.90 grams. This coin was an important part of the county's efforts to stabilize its economy and promote trade and commerce.
