Interesting fact

The 3 Kreuzers coin from Abbey Saint Blaise (German States) made of Copper weighing 1.54g has a unique feature. It has a distinctive "hammered" look, which was created by the minting process used at the time. The coins were struck between two dies, one with the negative image of the coin's design and the other with the positive image. The dies were then struck with a hammer to create the final coin. This process resulted in a textured, irregular surface that gives the coin a unique character.
