Interesting fact

The 2 Kreuzer coin from the Free City of Augsburg, minted in 1625, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin's silver content and small denomination made it a widely used and accessible form of currency for everyday transactions. Additionally, the coin's design, featuring the city's coat of arms and other symbols, reflects the importance of local identity and autonomy during this period.
