Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the County of Tyrol is that it was minted during the reign of Sigismund Franz, who was the Archduke of Austria and the Count of Tyrol from 1663 to 1665. This coin was made of silver and weighed 0.95 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the coin was widely used in trade and commerce in the region and is now considered a valuable collector's item among numismatists.
