Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Württemberg, which was a powerful noble family that ruled the region for centuries. This shield is placed above the number "5" on the coin, signifying the coin's denomination. This design element is a distinctive feature of this particular coin and sets it apart from other coins of the same era.
