See Engel & Lehr plate XVII, number 8.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers coin from County of Hanau-Lichtenberg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "J.R." (for John Reinhard) located above the coat of arms on the obverse side. This subtle detail sets it apart from other coins of the same era and adds to its historical significance.
