Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Strasbourg is that it features an image of Leopold Wilhelm von Österreich, who was the Grand Duke of Austria and the Bishop of Strasbourg during the 17th century. The coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 1626 to 1632. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history, as it represents a unique moment in time when the Bishopric of Strasbourg was under Austrian rule.
