Interesting fact

The 60 Kreuzer coin from the Lordship of Haldenstein (Grisons) was minted in 1689 during the reign of George Philip, and it's made of silver, weighing 15.90 grams. What's interesting about this coin is that it features a unique design on its reverse side, showcasing the coat of arms of the House of Habsburg, which was the ruling dynasty of the time. This coat of arms features a shield with three rows of five shields each, representing the various territories and lands ruled by the Habsburgs. This design was used on several coins minted during this period, but the 60 Kreuzer coin is particularly notable for its high silver content and its rarity, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
