Interesting fact
The ½ Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Birkenfeld-Zweibrücken (German States) made of Copper and weighing 3.6 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Christian IV in 1759, and it features an image of the duke on one side and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. This coin was used as a means of payment in the duchy and was a significant part of the local economy at the time.
