Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 60 Kreuzers coin from County of Montfort-Peggau (German States) made of Silver weighing 18.5g is that it was minted during the reign of John VIII, who was the Count of Montfort-Peggau from 1669 until his death in 1695. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, and it features an image of the Count on one side and the coat of arms of the County on the other. The coin's design and mintage were overseen by the Count himself, making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
