Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Chur (Grisons) made of Silver weighing 1.7g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and many regions were struggling to rebuild and redefine their economic systems. The Bishopric of Chur, in particular, was facing financial challenges and turned to minting coins as a way to generate revenue. The 3 Kreuzers coin was one of the many coins minted during this time, and it remains an interesting artifact of this tumultuous period in European history.
