Interesting fact
The 2 Kreuzer coin from the Free City of Regensburg (German States) was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies. The Regensburg mint, which was established in 1623, was one of the few mints that continued to produce coins during this time, and the 2 Kreuzer coin was one of the most widely used coins in circulation. Despite its small denomination, the coin was made of silver, which gave it a higher value than many other coins of the time. This coin is a rare surviving example of the currency used during this tumultuous period in European history.
