Interesting fact

The 2 Kreuzer coin from Strasbourg was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the City of Strasbourg was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, including the 2 Kreuzer. This coin is a testament to the city's resilience and ability to adapt during difficult times.
