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 mountains and forests of the region. This symbol has been used on coins from the Grisons region for centuries and is still featured on some modern-day Swiss coins.
