Interesting fact

The Kreuzer coin from the City of Chur (Grisons) was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Charles VI, who was the ruler of the Holy Roman Empire at the time. The coin's design features the city's coat of arms, which includes a cross and a key, symbolizing the city's connection to the Christian faith and its role as a key trading center in the region. Despite its small size, the coin has a rich history and is a valuable addition to any coin collection.
