Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers / Groschen coin from the City of Schaffhausen, made of silver and weighing 1.79g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) was a conflict that affected much of the continent, and the production of coins was impacted by the war effort. Despite this, the City of Schaffhausen was able to continue minting coins, such as this one, which were used for everyday transactions. This coin is a tangible reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Schaffhausen during a time of great upheaval.
