Comment

Krause lists only 1730, 31, 33 and 38 to 40. Others are from Herinek.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ kreuzer coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Charles VI, who was the last Habsburg ruler to hold the title of Holy Roman Emperor. This coin was minted in the city of Graz, which was an important center for trade and commerce during that time. Despite its small denomination, the coin was made of silver, which gives us an idea of the value placed on precious metals during that era. Additionally, the coin's design features an image of Charles VI, which highlights the importance of the ruling monarch in the empire's currency.
