Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin from the County of Tyrol (Austrian States) features an image of Leopold V, who was the Archduke of Austria and the Count of Tyrol from 1626 to 1632. The coin's design includes a depiction of Leopold V on one side and the Tyrolean coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War taking place during Leopold's reign. Despite the conflict, the coin's silver content and intricate design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
