Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin from County of Leiningen-Westerburg (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving. This coin was minted in 1622, right in the middle of this tumultuous period, and its production was likely affected by the economic and political instability of the time. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the skill of the mint masters and artisans who created it.
