Comment
Mint mark either LPH (for Leonhard Paul Haller) divided by a small double cross, or a single larger cross.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Breslau (Silesia) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1693, during the reign of Francis Louis, the Duke of Breslau, who was a member of the powerful Habsburg dynasty. This was a period of significant economic growth and trade, with the rise of merchant classes and the development of new technologies. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs 2.6 grams, indicating its value as a medium of exchange during this time.
