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 minting in a smaller territory like Montfort-Peggau make it a unique piece of history that reflects the economic and political shifts happening during that time.
