Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken, issued in 1611 during the reign of John II, features an interesting design element - a stylized portrait of the duke, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and berries. This design was meant to symbolize the duke's role as a protector and guardian of his people, much like the oak tree was seen as a symbol of strength and durability.
