Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Counts of Dietrichstein is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "S L" (for Sigismund Lugwig) located above the coat of arms on the obverse side of the coin. This subtle detail adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin, as it highlights the importance of Sigismund Lugwig, the ruler who commissioned the coin, and serves as a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail of the mint masters who created it.
