Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Nassau is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1809, just a few years after the Napoleonic Wars had ended, and the German States were in the process of being reorganized under the Congress of Vienna. This coin, made of silver, was a standard circulation coin during that time and features Frederick August, the ruler of Nassau, on one side and the coat of arms of Nassau on the other. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians today.
