Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers (Kipper) coin from the City of Rottweil (German States) made of Silver weighing 1g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Kipper era, which lasted from 1618 to 1623, was a period of rapid inflation and currency devaluation in the Holy Roman Empire, and the production of coins like the 3 Kreuzers Kipper coin was a response to the need for a stable currency. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political climate of early 17th-century Europe.
