Interesting fact
The 2 Kreuzers coin from Stolberg-Königstein, minted in 1571 during the reign of Louis II, features an interesting error on its reverse side. The coin was intended to bear the image of a cross, but due to a minting error, the cross was accidentally stamped upside down. This mistake has become a unique characteristic of the coin, making it stand out among other coins from the same era.
