Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Krummsteert coin from East Frisia is that it features a unique design element - a stylized image of a Frisian horse, which is a breed of horse that originated in the region. The horse is depicted in a galloping pose, with its mane and tail flowing in the wind. This design was meant to symbolize the region's rich agricultural heritage and its connection to the land.
