NEWP: Montfort Gulden (60 Kreuzer)

Very interesting numismatic history to this part of the extended German territory which was sold by the Counts of Montfort to the Habsburg - see article Counts of Montfort

The counts of Montfort used their minting rights from time to time yet their quality was inferior. From 1675 Montfort coined 2/3 Thalers, Gulden to the value of 60 Kreutzer, and half- and quarter-Guldens. In December 1679 the three regional circles of Southern Germany attempted to ban the Montfort denominations from Gulden to Kreuzer.

An AU-53 grade to these is probably the highest I had seen.
