Interesting fact
The 4 Kreuzer coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles VII, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1742 to 1745. During his reign, there was a significant increase in trade and commerce, which led to the need for a new coinage system that could facilitate the growing economy. The 4 Kreuzer coin was one of the coins that were introduced during this time, and it was used widely in the German States. It's also worth noting that the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time. The use of silver in coinage was a sign of the coin's value and authenticity, and it was a common practice in many parts of Europe during this period. I hope you find this information interesting and helpful!
