Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Chur (Grisons) made of Billon is that it features a unique design element - a stylized letter "V" on the reverse side, which represents the coat of arms of the Bishopric. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination and time period, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
