Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the County of Leiningen-Dagsburg-Hartenburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The late 18th and early 19th centuries saw the rise of the Napoleonic Empire, which had a significant impact on the German states. The coinage of the time reflects this turmoil, with many different states and territories issuing their own coins, often with varying denominations and compositions. The 3 Kreuzers coin, made of Billon (a silver-copper alloy), is a rare example of a coin from this time period that has survived to the present day.
