Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers coin from the County of Leiningen-Dagsburg-Falkenburg is that it features a unique coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with three lions, which represents the three main branches of the House of Leiningen: Leiningen-Dagsburg, Leiningen-Westerburg, and Leiningen-Falkenburg. This coat of arms was specifically designed for John Louis, the Count of Leiningen-Dagsburg-Falkenburg, who ruled from 1623 to 1644. The inclusion of this coat of arms on the coin highlights the significance of the Count's rule and the importance of his lineage during that time period.
