Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as this 2 Kreuzers coin.
