Comment
Ernst Joseph was ruler between 1733 and 1759 (his death).Interesting fact
The ½ Kreuzer coin from the County of Montfort-Peggau (German States) made of Billon and weighing 0.35g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Maximilian Joseph Ernest, who was the Prince-Bishop of Freising and a member of the powerful Wittelsbach family. Despite being a small denomination coin, it features a detailed portrait of the prince-bishop on one side and the coat of arms of the county on the other, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail of 18th-century coinage.
