Interesting fact

The 2 Heller coin from the Principality of Nassau-Dietz, minted during the reign of William V (1766-1791), features an interesting design element - a stylized depiction of a lion on the obverse side, which was a symbol of the House of Nassau, the ruling dynasty of the principality.
