Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 12 Kreuzer coin from the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg is that it features a unique design element - a crescent moon and stars on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the county's coat of arms. This design was only used on coins minted during the reign of John Reinhard I, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
