Interesting fact
The 60 Kreuzers coin from the County of Montfort-Peggau (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1679, during the reign of John VIII, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. This coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time. The fact that it was minted in a smaller territory like the County of Montfort-Peggau, and not by a larger power like a kingdom or empire, makes it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
