Comment
Weight varies: 6.68-6.76g.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 1809-1810, just a few years after the Napoleonic Wars had ended, and during a period of territorial reorganization and political upheaval in the German states. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency in the region, reflecting the resilience and adaptability of the people who used it.
