Interesting fact
The 15 Kreuzers coin from the County of Montfort-Peggau (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1678, a period when many European countries were transitioning from a feudal system to a more modern economy. The coin's silver content and its use as a standard circulation coin reflect the growing importance of trade and commerce during this time. Additionally, the coin's design, featuring John VIII, the Count of Montfort-Peggau, highlights the significance of the local ruling families in the German States during this period.
