Comment
Mintmaster Martin WalchInteresting fact
The 6 Kreuzer coin from the Free City of Regensburg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1554, just a few years after the Protestant Reformation began to take hold in Germany, and as the Holy Roman Empire was starting to decline in power. The coin's silver content and its use in everyday transactions made it an important symbol of the city's economic and political independence during this time of upheaval.
