Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 12 Kreuzer coin from the Lordship of Haldenstein (Grisons) is that it features a unique design element - a stylized image of a wild man, known as the "Wildmann," which is a mythical creature said to inhabit the woods and mountains of the region. This symbol has been a part of the region's cultural heritage for centuries and is still celebrated in local folklore and festivals today.
