Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Kreuzer coin from Further Austria (Austrian States) is that it was minted during the reign of Francis II, who was the last Holy Roman Emperor and the first Emperor of Austria. This coin was minted between 1792 and 1800, a time of great political and social change in Europe, and it features an image of Francis II on one side and the Austrian coat of arms on the other. Despite being made of copper, which was a relatively common metal at the time, this coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item due to its historical significance and the limited number that were minted.
