Mintmaster EGF - Eberhard Gregor Fleischeld
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers - Louis IX 1759 coin from County of Hanau-Lichtenberg (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Louis IX, who was the Count of Hanau-Lichtenberg from 1736 until his death in 1761. During his reign, Louis IX implemented a number of economic and political reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which helped to stabilize the economy and promote trade in the region. Despite the challenges of the time, the 2 Kreuzers coin remained a popular and widely used denomination, and it continues to be a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
