Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Troppau (Silesia) is that it features a unique design element - a crescent moon and stars on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the House of Liechtenstein. This design was chosen to commemorate the rule of Karl Eusebius von Liechtenstein, who was the Duke of Troppau and a member of the House of Liechtenstein. The inclusion of this symbol on the coin highlights the close connection between the House of Liechtenstein and the Duchy of Troppau, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the region.
