Comment
Mintmaster M - Joseph MellingerInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Birkenfeld-Zweibrücken is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Duchy on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of the coins minted during Christian IV's reign.
