Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 60 Kreuzer coin from the City of Breisach is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II, who was instrumental in introducing the taler, a new standardized currency that replaced the various local currencies that were in use at the time. The 60 Kreuzer coin was one of the first coins to be minted in accordance with the new currency standard, and it played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce across the German States.
