Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 6 Kreuzers coin from the Kingdom of Württemberg is that it features a portrait of King William I, also known as Wilhelm I, who ruled the kingdom from 1816 to 1864. He was a member of the House of Württemberg and played a significant role in the unification of Germany, becoming the first King of Württemberg in 1805. The coin's design, which includes the king's portrait and the inscription "KOENIG," serves as a testament to his legacy and the rich history of the Kingdom of Württemberg.
