Interesting fact
The 2 Kreuzer coin from Strasbourg was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, known as the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). This conflict had a profound impact on the economy and currency of many regions, including Strasbourg, which was a free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire at the time. Despite the challenges, the city continued to mint coins, such as the 2 Kreuzer, which were used for everyday transactions. The coin's design features the city's coat of arms and other symbols of its rich history and culture.
