Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Kreuzer coin from Further Austria is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Francis II, who was the last Holy Roman Emperor and the first Emperor of Austria. This period saw the transformation of the Austrian States from a collection of disparate territories to a more centralized empire, with Francis II playing a key role in this process. The coin's design, featuring an image of Francis II on one side and the Austrian coat of arms on the other, reflects this shift in power and the growing influence of the Austrian Empire.
