Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the County of Montfort-Peggau is that it was minted during the reign of Maximilian Joseph Ernest, who was the Prince-Bishop of the Prince-Bishopric of Augsburg from 1741 to 1758. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which aimed to promote trade and commerce in the region. Despite being a small denomination coin, it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time.
