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 ended, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies. The County of Hohenlohe-Langenburg was no exception, and the issuance of this coin was likely an attempt to stimulate trade and commerce in the region. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction today.
