Comment
Merzdorf 135Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Stüber coin from the Lordship of Jever is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to signify its value, as it was believed that the hole represented the "soul" of the coin, and the value of the coin was thought to be connected to the size and shape of the hole. This design element is not found in many other coins from the same time period, making the 2 Stüber coin from the Lordship of Jever a distinctive and interesting piece of numismatic history.
