Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 60 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Bavaria is that it was minted during a time of economic hardship and monetary reform. The Kipper era, which lasted from 1621 to 1623, was marked by a severe shortage of small denomination coins, leading to the minting of larger denomination coins like the 60 Kreuzer. This coin was made of silver and weighed 13.69 grams, making it a significant denomination for its time. Despite its value, the coin was not widely accepted and was eventually replaced by a new currency system. Today, the 60 Kreuzer coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, offering a glimpse into the economic history of the region during a time of change and upheaval.
