Interesting fact
The 15 Kreuzers coin from the County of Montfort-Peggau (German States) made of Silver 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 silver coin minted during his reign, as most coins from this time period were made of copper or other base metals. The fact that it was made of silver suggests that it may have been intended for use in trade or commerce, rather than for everyday circulation. Additionally, the coin's design features the coat of arms of the County of Montfort-Peggau, which is a unique and distinctive feature that sets it apart from other coins of the time.
