Comment
Slg. Noss II 459Interesting fact
The 5 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Birkenfeld-Zweibrücken was minted during the reign of Christian IV (1763-1765) and features an image of the duke on one side and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. What's interesting about this coin is that it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material that was often used for coins in the 18th century. The use of silver in coins was a sign of the duchy's wealth and power, and it also made the coins more resistant to wear and tear, ensuring that they could be used for a long time.
