Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Kreuzers coin from the Electorate of Württemberg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1803-1804, just a few years before the Napoleonic Wars, which had a significant impact on the German states and their currencies. The fact that this coin was made of Billon, a silver-copper alloy, suggests that it was intended to be a more affordable alternative to pure silver coins, which were in short supply at the time. This coin's design, featuring Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, on the obverse, and the Württemberg coat of arms on the reverse, highlights the importance of the ruling dynasty and the state's identity during this period.
