Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Kreuzer coin from Further Austria is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political 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 rise of the bourgeoisie and the decline of feudalism, which had a significant impact on the economy and trade. The coin's design, which features an image of Francis II on one side and the Austrian coat of arms on the other, reflects the political and cultural shifts that were taking place at the time. Despite being a small denomination coin, the ¼ Kreuzer was an important part of the currency system in Further Austria and played a significant role in the everyday lives of people living in the region.
