Interesting fact
The Kreuzer coin from the City of Solothurn, made of Billon and weighing 1.1g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time of great economic change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Joseph II, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the Habsburg monarchy. The Kreuzer coin was one of the first standardized coins to be issued in the region, and it helped to simplify trade and commerce across different regions. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Kreuzer coin played an important role in the economy of the time and is now a sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
