Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers - Frederick I (Klippe) 1593 from County of Montbéliard (French States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element known as a "klippe" or "clip," which is a small, irregularly-shaped piece of metal that was added to the coin's design to indicate its authenticity. This feature was commonly used in coins from the County of Montbéliard during this time period, and it is a distinctive characteristic that sets this coin apart from others of its era.
