Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers - Ferdinand II 1625 coin from the City of Hagenau (French States) is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). This conflict had a profound impact on the coinage of the time, as many mints were forced to produce emergency issues to help finance the war efforts. The 2 Kreuzers coin, made of silver and weighing 0.87 grams, is a rare example of a coin that was produced during this tumultuous period in European history.
