Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features an image of Duke Christoph, who ruled the region from 1565 to 1568, on one side, and the Württemberg coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Europe, as the Protestant Reformation was gaining momentum and the Holy Roman Empire was beginning to dissolve. Despite these tumultuous times, the coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the Württemberg region and its rich history.
