Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers (Kipper) coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the economy of the German States, including Nuremberg. Despite this, the city continued to mint coins, including the 2 Kreuzers, which was an important denomination for trade and commerce. The fact that the coin was made of silver also speaks to the value and importance of the coin during this time period.
