Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers - Ferdinand II (Graz) 1617 coin from the Duchy of Styria (Austrian States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Habsburg, which was the ruling dynasty at the time. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the denomination. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a notable piece for collectors.
