Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers coin featuring Alexander Sigismund of Pfalz-Neuburg is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the German States. The coin was minted in 1694, just a few years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, which had devastated much of Germany and led to significant political and economic changes in the region. Despite these challenges, the Bishopric of Augsburg, where the coin was minted, continued to produce high-quality silver coins like this one, which were used widely in trade and commerce.
