Comment
This coin is unlisted in KM catalogue.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "G" and "F" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for the Latin phrase "Gott mit uns" or "God with us." This shield was added to the coin's design during the reign of George Frederick II, who was a devout Christian and wanted to express his faith on the coinage. This small detail not only adds to the aesthetic appeal of the coin but also highlights the historical and cultural significance of the coin.
