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 Principality of Montfort-Peggau. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin minted during this time period, as most coins of this denomination were made of copper or other base metals. Additionally, the coin features an intricate design, including an image of the prince-bishop on one side and the Montfort-Peggau coat of arms on the other.
