Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 24 Kreuzer coin from County of Helfenstein-Wiesensteig is that it features a unique design element - a crescent moon and stars on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of the Kipper era coins. This design was used during a time of economic turmoil in the region, and the coin was minted in silver to address the shortage of small denomination coins in circulation.
