Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken is that it features a unique design element - a stylized letter "F" on the reverse side, which stands for "Friedrich," the name of the mint master who produced the coin. This letter is not found on other coins from the same era, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
