Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Chur (Grisons) is that it features an image of Joseph Mohr, a Catholic priest and musician who wrote the lyrics to the famous Christmas carol "Silent Night." Mohr was born in 1792 and served as a priest in the Bishopric of Chur before his death in 1848. The coin was minted in his honor during his lifetime, and it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists and music enthusiasts.
