Interesting fact
The 24 Kreuzer coin from the Principality of Hohenzollern-Hechingen, minted in 1622 during the reign of John George (also known as "Kipper"), is notable for its unique design. The coin features an image of a kipper, a type of fish, on one side, which is where the monarch's nickname "Kipper" originated. This design was chosen because the kipper was a symbol of the region's fishing industry, which was an important part of the local economy. The coin's design was meant to promote the region's economic prosperity and highlight the importance of the fishing industry.
