Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the County of Montfort-Rothenfels is that it features a unique coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with three crossed keys, which symbolize the three kingdoms that Ulrich VIII ruled: Montfort, Rothenfels, and the County of Hohenems. This design was specifically chosen to represent the unity and power of these three territories under Ulrich VIII's rule.
