Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Kreuzer coin from the Lordship of Reichenau (Grisons) made of Billon is that it features a unique design element - a stylized letter "F" on the reverse side, which stands for "Fürst" (German for "prince") and signifies the coin's issuance by the Prince-Abbot of Reichenau. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical and numismatic value.
