KREUZER

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Kreuzer coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1838, just a few years after the formation of the German Customs Union (Zollverein) in 1834, which aimed to create a unified economic zone across the German states. The coin's mintage was also during the reign of Emperor Ferdinand I of Austria, who ruled over the Austrian Empire and was the last emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. This coin is a small but fascinating piece of history that reflects the complex political and economic landscape of 19th-century Germany.
