Interesting fact

The 2 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Bavaria, issued during the reign of Albert V (1566-1572), features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Bavaria on one side, and the cross of the Order of the Golden Spur on the other. This design symbolizes the dual nature of Albert V's rule, both as the Duke of Bavaria and as a member of the prestigious Order of the Golden Spur.
