Interesting fact
The 2 Schillings coin from the Duchy of Württemberg, issued during the reign of John Frederick (1621-1622), features an interesting design element - a unique coat of arms on the reverse side. The coat of arms features a shield with the symbols of the House of Württemberg, including a stag's antlers and a lion's head, surrounded by two griffins. This design was used to signify the duchy's independence and sovereignty.
