Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Kreuzers - Louis IX 1759 coin from County of Hanau-Lichtenberg (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "L" (for Louis) above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This shield is not found on other coins of the same denomination and issuer, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
