Interesting fact
The 15 Kreuzers coin from the County of Montfort-Peggau, issued in 1692 during the reign of Anthony II, features an interesting design element - a stylized portrait of the ruler, surrounded by an elaborate wreath. This design was a departure from the more traditional depiction of rulers on coins, which typically featured a straightforward portrait with minimal embellishments. The inclusion of the wreath symbolized the connection between the ruler and the land, and was a nod to the region's rich agricultural heritage.
