I recently encountered the term 'cross coin' and I'm not sure what it means. Is it a special type of currency or coin? I'd like to understand its definition and possibly its usage or significance.

These coins derive their name from the Middle High German term "kriuzer," which is related to their historical design.

Specifically, kriuzer coins were originally stamped with a cross, hence their name.

The word kriuzer itself can be traced back to "kriuze," meaning cross, which originated from Old High German as "krūzi."

Further back, the term "krūzi" is derived from Latin "crux," meaning cross, indicating a long historical connection between these coins and Christian symbolism.
