Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers - Ulrich VIII 1572 coin from the County of Montfort-Rothenfels (German States) made of Billon is that it features a unique combination of religious and secular symbols. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Saint Ulrich, the patron saint of the county, while the reverse side features the county's coat of arms, which includes a pair of crossed keys, a symbol of the county's secular authority. This blending of religious and secular motifs reflects the complex political and religious landscape of the German States during the 16th century.
