Comment
A single KM# fr 2 types differing by the portrait, the legend, the position of the value on reverse.Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin from the County of Tyrol (Austrian States) made of Silver weighing 1.5g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Leopold V, who was the Archduke of Austria and the Count of Tyrol from 1626 to 1632. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin minted during a time when most coins were made of copper or other base metals. Additionally, the coin features an intricate design, including the image of Leopold V on one side and the Tyrolean coat of arms on the other, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
