Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features an image of John Frederick, the ruler of the duchy at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of Württemberg on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Europe, as the Thirty Years War was taking place, and it is a unique piece of history that has survived to this day.
