Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 60 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features a unique design element - a deer (Hirsch in German) on the reverse side, which is where the coin's nickname "Hirschgulden" comes from. This design was chosen by John Frederick, the Duke of Württemberg, who was known for his love of hunting and the outdoors. The inclusion of the deer on the coin was a way to showcase the duke's passion and also served as a symbol of the region's rich natural resources.
