Comment
Mintmaster M L: Wardein Mann and mintmaster LauferInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Eichstätt is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Freyberg family, which was added to the obverse side of the coin. This shield was a symbol of the ruling family's power and influence in the region, and it sets the coin apart from other coins issued during the same period.
