Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Gute Kreuzer coin featuring Francis of Hatzfeld-Gleichen is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted in 1684, just a few years after the Great Turkish War, which had devastated much of Europe and led to a significant increase in taxation and inflation. Despite these challenges, the County of Hatzfeld was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as the 3 Gute Kreuzer, which was used as a standard circulation coin. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Hatzfeld during a difficult period in history.
