Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 15 Kreuzers coin from the Principality of Nassau-Dillenburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Henry, who was the Prince of Nassau-Dillenburg from 1686 to 1689. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was in decline, and many German states were struggling with financial and political instability. Despite these challenges, the 15 Kreuzers coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout the region.
