Interesting fact
The 12 Kreuzer coin from the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg, minted in 1624 during the reign of John Reinhard I, features an interesting design element - a stylized portrait of the ruler, John Reinhard I, with a distinctive pointed beard and a crown adorned with gems. This design was a departure from the more traditional depictions of rulers on coins, which often featured a more formal and serious portrait. The unique design of this coin has made it a popular collector's item among numismatists.
