Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 30 Kreuzers (Kipper) coin from the Free City of Augsburg is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The Kipper era, which lasted from 1618 to 1623, was marked by a severe economic crisis caused by the Thirty Years War, which had a devastating impact on the German economy. Despite this, the Augsburg mint continued to produce coins, including the 30 Kreuzers coin, which was made of silver and featured the image of the city's patron saint, St. Anne. This coin is a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of Augsburg during a time of great hardship.
