Interesting fact

The 3 Kreuzers coin from the County of Montfort-Peggau (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Maximilian Joseph Ernest, who was the last prince-bishop of the diocese of Augsburg and the first bishop of the diocese of Hildesheim. He was known for his efforts to modernize the administration and economy of his territories, and the minting of this coin may have been part of those efforts.
