Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the City of Chur (Grisons) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the region and led to a shortage of coinage. As a result, many cities and territories, including Chur, began minting their own coins to address the shortage. The 3 Kreuzers coin was one of the coins minted during this time, and it features a unique design that reflects the history and culture of the region.
