Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from Salm-Grumbach, Wildgraviate and Rhinegraviate of German States is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of John and Adolph, who were the ruling counts of the region from 1607 to 1612. During this time, the German States were experiencing significant political and economic upheaval, including the Thirty Years' War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648. Despite these challenges, the 3 Kreuzers coin remained a widely used and valued form of currency throughout the region.
