Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Kreuzers - Ferdinand II 1625 coin from the Franconian Circle (German States) is that 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 the midst of this turmoil, and its production was likely affected by the economic and political instability of the time. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the people who produced it.
