The coin bears the titles of Rudolf II.Interesting fact
The 2 Kreuzer coin from the Burgraviate of Friedberg, which was minted during John Eberhard's reign from 1590 to 1595, features an unusual design element - a stylized letter "F" on the reverse side, which represents the Friedberg region. This letter "F" is not commonly found on coins from this time period, making it a unique and interesting feature of this particular coin.
