Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 24 Kreuzer (Kipper) coin from the City of Rottweil (German States) made of Silver weighing 4.5g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Kipper era, which lasted from 1618 to 1623, was marked by a severe economic crisis caused by the Thirty Years' War, which led to a shortage of coinage and a rise in prices. As a result, many cities and states in Germany, including Rottweil, began minting their own coins to address the shortage. The 24 Kreuzer coin was one of the coins minted during this time, and it features a unique design that reflects the cultural and political context of the era.
