Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Passau is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "P" in the center, which represents the Bishopric of Passau. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "IOHANNES PHILIPPUS LAMBERG FURSTBISCHOF ZU PASAU" (John Philip of Lamberg, Prince-Bishop of Passau). This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and denomination, making it a prized collector's item for numismatists.
