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 economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of William, who was the Duke of Nassau from 1831 to 1837. During this period, the German states were in the process of adopting a new currency, the Vereinsthaler, which was introduced in 1857. The 6 Kreuzers coin, made of Billon (.375 silver) and weighing 2.32g, was part of this transition, as it was one of the last coins issued by the Duchy of Nassau before it was absorbed into the German Empire in 1866. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic and political changes that were taking place in Germany during that time.
