1/2 Kreuzer - Anthony III

Montfort-Peggau was a tiny imperial county in Styria that effectively ceased to exist as a functioning territorial entity shortly after this coin was struck, absorbed through inheritance into the broader Montfort holdings. Anton III ruled over a territory so small that its coinage output was almost negligible — these billon fractions circulated locally in a region where Austrian provincial issues dominated commerce anyway. Ebner's reference work remains the essential guide to Montfort coinage, cataloging types that most Austrian specialists never encounter in decades of handling.
