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 1690. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was facing economic challenges, and many German states were struggling to maintain their independence. Despite these challenges, the 15 Kreuzers coin remained a popular form of currency and was widely used in trade and commerce.
