Comment
Varieties exist.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers coin from the Prince-Provostry of Ellwangen is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which is not typically found on other coins from the same era. This cross is believed to have been added as a symbol of the coin's authenticity and to distinguish it from counterfeit coins that were prevalent at the time.
