Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin from the County of Montfort-Peggau (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.5g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Maximilian Joseph Ernest, who was the last prince-bishop of the Prince-Bishopric of Augsburg and the first prince-bishop of the Prince-Bishopric of Freising. This coin was minted during a time of great political and religious change in Germany, as the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved and the German States were formed. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the County of Montfort-Peggau on one side and the image of Saint George slaying a dragon on the other, symbolizing the county's patron saint and its connection to the Catholic Church.
