Interesting fact

The 15 Kreuzers coin from the County of Montfort-Peggau (German States) made of Silver weighing 5.23g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of John VIII, who was the Count of Montfort-Peggau from 1669 to 1676. This coin is a rare example of a standard circulation coin from that time period and region, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
