Interesting fact

The 2 Kreuzers coin was minted during the reign of Maximilian I, who was the Elector of Bavaria from 1623 to 1637. The coin features an image of the crucified Christ on one side and the coat of arms of Bavaria on the other. What's interesting is that this coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) taking place during Maximilian's reign. Despite the conflict, the coin remained a stable currency and was widely used throughout the region.
