Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Kreuzer coin from the County of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schilingfürst is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles Albert, who was the Duke of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schilingfürst from 1763 until his death in 1770. During his reign, Charles Albert implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which led to the minting of this coin. The coin was made of Billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in coinage during this time period. Despite its relatively low value, the 5 Kreuzer coin is a rare and interesting piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political climate of 18th century Germany.
