Interesting fact
The 2 Kreuzer coin from the City of Freiburg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor, who ruled from 1711 to 1740. During his reign, there was a significant increase in trade and commerce, which led to the need for a more standardized system of currency. The 2 Kreuzer coin was one of the coins minted during this time to meet this need, and it features an image of the city's coat of arms on one side and the imperial eagle on the other. Despite its small denomination, the coin was made of silver, which gave it a high level of purchasing power at the time. Today, the coin is 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.
