Comment
Reign of Adolphe de Nassau: 20/08/1839 - 20/09/1866. Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Nassau is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Germany. The coin was minted during the reign of Adolph, who was the Duke of Nassau from 1840 to 1855. During this time, the German states were undergoing a period of revolution and political unification, which ultimately led to the formation of the German Empire in 1871. Despite the political turmoil, the 6 Kreuzers coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout the region.
