Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Styria is that it features an image of Charles II Francis of Austria, who was the ruler of the region at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Styria on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic flourishing in the region, and its design reflects the Renaissance style that was popular during that period.
