Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1633 48 Klippe Kreuzer from the City of Breisach is that it was minted during the Thirty Years War, a devastating conflict that lasted from 1618 to 1648 and involved much of Europe. The coin's production was likely a response to the economic demands of the war effort, as the city of Breisach was a strategic location that changed hands several times during the conflict. Despite its turbulent origins, the coin has survived to the present day and is now a prized collector's item.
