Interesting fact
The 15 Kreuzer coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in the German States. The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) had caused widespread devastation and disrupted trade, leading to a shortage of coinage and a need for new currencies to be minted. The City of Konstanz, located on the shores of Lake Constance, was an important trading hub during this time and the 15 Kreuzer coin was likely used for everyday transactions and commerce in the region. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the 15 Kreuzer ND (1622) coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the economic and political history of Europe during this period.
