Surely one of the more unusual coins issued during the Napoleonic era, this has two different values. It must have been needed for circulation in multiple German states or cities with the different monetary systems. The ratios are interesting; about 1 3/4 soldi per kreuzer or a little over half kreuzer per soldi.
