Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from Salm-Dhaun, Wildgraviate and Rhingraviate of German States is that it features an image of Wolfgang Frederick, the ruling count of the region, on one side, and the coat of arms of the three territories on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the region, as the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved and the German states began to assert their independence. Despite the turmoil, the coin remained a stable and widely accepted form of currency throughout the region.
