Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Chur (Grisons) was minted during the reign of Johann V in 1627, and it features an image of the crucified Christ on one side and the coat of arms of the Bishopric on the other. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political turmoil in Europe, and yet it still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it has become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
