Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers coin from the City of Chur (Grisons) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the production of coins throughout the continent, and the 2 Kreuzers coin was no exception. Despite the challenges posed by the war, the City of Chur was able to continue minting coins, albeit in smaller quantities, demonstrating the city's resilience and determination to maintain its economic stability.
