Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Meran Zwanziger - Kreuzer - Meinhard II (Méran) coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the County of Tyrol. The coin was issued by Meinhard II, who was the Count of Tyrol from 1274 to 1306, and it features an image of him on one side and a depiction of the Tyrolean eagle on the other. This coin was used as a means of payment and exchange during Meinhard's reign, and it is a rare and valuable artifact for collectors of medieval coins.
