Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Chur (Grisons) is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which is not typically found on other coins from the same era. This cross is believed to represent the religious significance of the Bishopric of Chur and its connection to the Catholic Church.
