Interesting fact

The 3 Kreuzers coin from the City of Chur (Grisons) in 1628 is interesting because it was made during a time when the Grisons region was still a part of the Old Swiss Confederacy, and it features the coat of arms of Chur, which includes a bishop's mitre and a crozier, reflecting the city's historical connection to the Catholic Church.
