Interesting fact
The 2½ Kreuzer coin from the County of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schilingfürst (German States) made of Billon is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted in 1770, just a few years before the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, which marked the end of the feudal system and the beginning of a new era of modernization and secularization in Europe. This coin is a tangible piece of history that represents the transition from the old feudal system to the modern era.
