| Additional information |
Palatinate-Zweibrücken was one of the smaller Rhenish territories produced by the fractured inheritance system of the Palatinate Wittelsbach line. John II ruled from 1604 until his death in 1635, and this gulden dates to the decade before the Thirty Years' War engulfed the region entirely — a conflict that would devastate Zweibrücken so thoroughly that the duchy's population collapsed and coinage production essentially ceased for years.
The Fr#2059 designation places this within Friedberg's gold coinage of the German states, a series where survivors in any condition are genuinely scarce given the small scale of Zweibrücken's mint operation.
