Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Kreuzer coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1740, just a few years before the Seven Years' War, which had a profound impact on the European economy and led to significant changes in the way that currency was minted and used. Despite these changes, the Kreuzer coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout the 18th century.
