Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features an image of Eberhard III, the ruler of the duchy from 1633 to 1668, on one side, and the coat of arms of Württemberg on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, including the Thirty Years' War, and its design reflects the political and cultural influences of the era. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and artistic practices of the time.
