Please help identify Holy Roman Empire/Austrian Coin!

#1 Unread post by Adam123 »

Hello everyone, I acquired a bag of mostly German states coins, and this 2 Kreuzer coin that I think is from the Holy Roman Empire was in it. On one side, it has holy Roman emperor Ferdinand II‘s name on it, but when I was researching the coin I couldn’t find an image of the one I have, due to wear on lettering towards the edge. Can anyone help me out with identifying this? Thank you!

I would buy a used copy of the Kruse cataloge in the date range ( the books are in 100 year increments ) your coins are in - you don't need to spend a lot on the latest version. get version 3 or 4 used

Standard Catalog of World Coins - Krause publications
