Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers - Joachim Ernest 1622 coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it features a unique combination of Christian and pagan symbols. On one side, the coin bears the image of a cross, which represents the Christian faith, while on the other side, it features a depiction of a mythical creature known as the "Brandenburg Griffin," which has its roots in ancient pagan mythology. This blending of religious and mythological symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the time period in which the coin was minted.
