Interesting fact
The 2 Kreuzer coin from the Free City of Augsburg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Leopold I, who ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 1658 to 1705. During this time, the Empire was facing challenges from the growing power of neighboring nations, such as France and Sweden, and was also dealing with the aftermath of the Thirty Years' War, which had devastated much of Germany. Despite these challenges, the Free City of Augsburg was able to maintain its independence and prosperity, and the 2 Kreuzer coin is a testament to the city's economic and cultural significance during this period.
