Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Palatinate-Zweibrücken dynasty, which is surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design was used on many coins issued by the duchy during this time period, and it symbolizes the connection between the ruling family and the region they governed.
