Interesting fact
The 2 Kreuzers coin from the County of Montfort-Peggau (German States) made of Billon is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Anthony III, who was the Count of Montfort-Peggau from 1726 to 1732. This was a period of significant economic growth and development in the region, and the coin reflects the increasing importance of trade and commerce in the German States during this time. Additionally, the use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins. Overall, this coin provides a unique insight into the economic and political climate of the time, and serves as a fascinating example of the financial systems and currency used in the German States during the early 18th century.
