Interesting fact
The 15 Kreuzers coin from the County of Montfort-Peggau (German States) made of Silver weighing 5.65g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of John VIII, who was the Count of Montfort-Peggau from 1669 to 1675. 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 was a high-value coin at the time and may have been used for large transactions or as a store of value. Additionally, the design of the coin may provide insight into the cultural and artistic influences of the time period.
