Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 24 Kreuzer - John Frederick (Kipper) 1622 from Duchy of Württemberg (Württemberg, German States) made of Silver weighing 5 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the coinage of many German states, including Württemberg, was heavily debased to finance the war effort. Despite this, the 24 Kreuzer coin maintained its value and remained a popular form of currency throughout the region.
