Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from County of Montbéliard (French States) made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of Louis Frederick, who was the Duke of Württemberg from 1608 to 1628. The coin features an image of the duke on one side and the coat of arms of Württemberg on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the more common copper coins of the time, and it reflects the wealth and power of the Württemberg dynasty.
