Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Bavaria, issued in 1506 during the reign of Albert IV, features an interesting design element - a unique mintmark in the form of a small cross, which can be found on the reverse side of the coin. This mintmark was used specifically by the mint in Munich, and it helps to distinguish this coin from other similar coins issued by different mints in the German States during that time period.
