Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Kreuzer coin from the Abbey of Saint Gall is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Joseph II, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the Habsburg monarchy. This period saw significant reforms in areas such as taxation, administration, and trade, which had a profound impact on the economy and society of the time. Despite these changes, the Kreuzer coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout the region.
