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 depiction of a palm tree on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the House of Wittelsbach, the ruling dynasty of the duchy at the time.
