Interesting fact
The 2 Kreuzer coin from the City of Ulm was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the Holy Roman Empire was struggling to maintain its power and influence. Despite these challenges, the City of Ulm was able to maintain its independence and issue its own coins, like the 2 Kreuzer, which was used as a means of payment and exchange in the region. It's fascinating to think that this coin was used by people living in Ulm during a time of such significant upheaval and change in Europe. The fact that it was made of silver also speaks to the value and importance of this precious metal during that time period.
