12 Kreuzer - Ferdinand II

Weissenburg's 12 Kreuzer issue of 1626–1628 falls squarely within the most destructive phase of the Thirty Years' War, when municipal authorities across the Holy Roman Empire scrambled to maintain local currency supplies as military occupation and plundering repeatedly severed normal channels of trade. The city struck these pieces under Ferdinand II's imperial authority while the war's military frontier was dangerously close to Franconia.

E&L#32 is among the scarcer documented varieties for this municipal type.
