20 Kreuzers - Frederick II

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The Duchy of Württemberg, where the coin was minted, was a small state in southwestern Germany that was part of the Holy Roman Empire. In the late 18th century, the Empire was dissolved and many of its member states, including Württemberg, became independent countries. This coin was minted during the reign of Frederick II, who was the last Duke of Württemberg before the state became a kingdom in 1805. The coin's design and the materials used to make it reflect the political and economic changes that were taking place in Europe at the time.
