Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers coin from the County of Fugger-Babenhausen-Wellenburg is that it features a unique coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with three rows of bars, representing the three branches of the Fugger family: the Fugger von der Lilie (Fugger of the Lily), the Fugger von Kirchberg (Fugger of Kirchberg), and the Fugger von Babenhausen (Fugger of Babenhausen). This coat of arms was specifically designed for the County of Fugger-Babenhausen-Wellenburg and is not found on any other coins from the German States.
