One interesting fact about the 6 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Württemberg-Oels (Silesia) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Karl Friedrich, who was the Duke of Württemberg-Oels from 1708 to 1716. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved, and many German states, including Württemberg-Oels, began to mint their own coins. The 6 Kreuzers coin was one of the first coins minted by Württemberg-Oels, and it features an image of Karl Friedrich on one side and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
