Comment
1851 B was minted in the years 1851 - 1853 and then again in 1856. Mintage given is for the whole minting time.Interesting fact
The ¼ Kreuzer coin from the Austrian Empire, made of copper and weighing 1.37g, is interesting because it was part of a currency reform effort in 1851 to simplify the monetary system and reduce the number of different coin denominations in circulation. This coin was one of the new denominations introduced as part of this reform, and it was designed to be more practical for everyday transactions. Despite its small size and value, it was still made of copper, which was a significant improvement over the previous currency that was made of less durable materials like paper and cardboard. This coin is a testament to the efforts of the Austrian Empire to modernize its currency and make it more efficient for its citizens.
