Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 12 Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Chur (Grisons) is that it features a unique design element - a stylized letter "V" on the reverse side, which represents the initial of the bishop who issued the coin, Johann V. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination and time period, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
