Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 6 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Bavaria is that it features a unique double portrait of both William IV and Louis X, who were co-rulers of the duchy at the time. This coin was minted in 1536 and is made of silver, weighing 2.35 grams. The double portrait design was a common feature of coins during this period, symbolizing the unity and cooperation between the two rulers.
