Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin from the City of Worms (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.54g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies. The City of Worms, in particular, was an important center of trade and commerce, and the minting of this coin was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency in the region. Despite its small denomination, the 3 Kreuzers coin played an important role in facilitating everyday transactions and helped to stabilize the local economy.
