Interesting fact
The 6 Kreuzers coin from the Royal Mint of Silesia, minted during the reign of Leopold I (1665-1666), was made of silver and weighed 3 grams. Despite its small size, this coin was an important part of the currency system in the Holy Roman Empire during that time, with the 6 Kreuzers denomination being equivalent to 1/4 of a thaler, which was the standard unit of currency in the empire.
