Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzer coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in the German States. The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) had a significant impact on the region, causing widespread destruction, famine, and disease. Despite these challenges, the City of Konstanz was able to maintain its independence and continue minting coins, such as the 3 Kreuzer, which was used as a means of exchange and commerce. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the City of Konstanz on one side and the image of a crowned eagle on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a deliberate choice, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was widely accepted as a medium of exchange. Today, the 3 Kreuzer ND (1622) coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction. Its historical significance and rarity make it an interesting and valuable addition to any coin collection.
