Interesting fact
The 12 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Birkenfeld-Zweibrücken (German States) made of Silver 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 standard circulation coin in the German States during that time and is now considered a valuable collector's item.
