Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Kreuzers Sechser coin from the County of Tyrol is that it features a unique design element - a stylized letter "S" on the reverse side, which represents the name of the ruler, Sigismund. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
