Comment
Exists also as variant with denomination "KREV ZER"Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers coin from the Electors of the Palatinate is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles Theodor, who was the Elector of the Palatinate from 1743 to 1745. During his reign, Charles Theodor implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which helped to stabilize the economy and promote trade in the region. The 2 Kreuzers coin was a part of this new currency system and was widely used in everyday transactions. Despite its small denomination, the coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a unique glimpse into the economic and political history of the Palatinate during this time period.
