Interesting fact
The 24 Kreuzer coin from the County of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, also known as the "Kipper" coin, was issued during a time of great economic turmoil in Germany. The Thirty Years' War had just begun, and the country was experiencing severe inflation, which led to the devaluation of many coins. Despite this, the Kipper coin maintained its value and became a popular trade coin in the region. Its silver content and durability made it a reliable medium of exchange, and it remained in circulation for many years, even after the war ended.
