Interesting fact
The 5 Konventionskreuzer coin from the Principality of Nassau-Dietz, minted in 1766 during the reign of William V, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the initials "W" and "V" on either side, signifying the collaboration between the Prince of Nassau-Dietz and the Duke of Nassau-Usingen. This coin was minted as part of a currency union between several German states, known as the "Konventionstaler" system, which aimed to standardize coinage across the region.
