Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Kreuzers coin featuring Frederick of Hesse-Darmstadt is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Great Turkish War (1683-1699). This conflict had a profound impact on the Holy Roman Empire, of which the Bishopric of Breslau was a part, and the coin's production may have been influenced by the economic and political instability of the time.
