Interesting fact
The 2 Batzen coin from the Imperial abbeys of Murbach and Lüders, minted during the reign of Leopold of Austria in 1624-1625, features an unusual design element - a small image of a bird, known as the "Murbacher Spatz," on the reverse side. This tiny bird is believed to symbolize the abbey's connection to the natural world and its commitment to preserving the local wildlife.
