Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers - Christoph (Klippe) 1568 coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features a unique "klippe" or "cut" design, which was a common feature of coins from this region during the Renaissance period. The klippe design involves cutting the coin into a shape that is not circular, but rather has a flat edge with a rounded corner. This design was used to make the coin easier to stack and store, as well as to distinguish it from other coins in circulation. The 2 Kreuzers - Christoph (Klippe) 1568 coin is a rare and valuable example of this unique design, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
