Comment
Slg. Noss 351Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken is that it features a unique design element - a stylized depiction of a wild man, known as a "Wildmann," on the reverse side. This symbol was a popular motif in medieval art and was often used to represent the wilderness and the power of nature. The inclusion of the Wildmann on the coin may have been a nod to the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
