Interesting fact
The 2 Kreuzer 1572 coin from the City of Ulm is notable for its unique design, which features a depiction of the city's patron saint, St. Michael, slaying a dragon. This image was meant to symbolize the city's victory over the plague, which had ravaged Ulm in the years leading up to the coin's minting. The coin's design was created by the city's mint master, Hans Schultz, and it has become a recognizable symbol of Ulm's history and resilience.
