60 Kreuzers - Anthony II Loose hair curls

The County of Montfort-Peggau was one of the fragmented Swabian-Alpine branches of the Montfort dynasty, a family whose territories had been subdividing through inheritance since the thirteenth century. By 1690, the county was a political remnant — small enough that its coinage had more to do with dynastic prestige and the Holy Roman Empire's permissive minting privileges than any practical monetary need. Anthony II ruled a territory of negligible economic weight, yet exercised his imperial coinage rights to produce pieces like this 60 Kreuzer in high-grade silver.

The "loose hair curls" designation distinguishes this die variety from a parallel issue, likely produced in the same year under the same authority.
