Interesting fact
The 2 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken was minted during the reign of John II (1624-1625) and features an image of the duke on one side and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Europe, including the Thirty Years' War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, with some rare examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
