Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Simmern is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Palatinate-Simmern family, which was added to the obverse side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier coins issued by Richard, and it was a way to signify the change in rulership and the new alliances that the Duchy had formed.
