Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers - Frederick Casimir 1678 coin from the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "F.C." (for Frederick Casimir) located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This subtle detail sets it apart from other coins of the same era and adds to its historical significance.
