Interesting fact
The 2 Kreuzer coin 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, including Nuremberg, were struggling to rebuild their economies. As a result, the minting of coins like the 2 Kreuzer became an important way for cities to generate revenue and stimulate trade. Despite the challenges of the time, the 2 Kreuzer coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item to this day.
