Interesting fact

The ½ Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg, minted in 1621 during the reign of Wolfgang William (also known as Kipper), features an interesting design element - a stylized depiction of a lion on the obverse side. This lion symbol was a common motif in the heraldry of the Palatinate region and was often used on coins issued by the duchy.
