Interesting fact
The ¼ Kreuzer coin from Further Austria (Austrian States) made of Copper and weighing 1.4g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Francis II (1801-1803), who was the last Holy Roman Emperor and the first Emperor of Austria. This coin was part of the currency reform he implemented, which aimed to standardize the currency across the Austrian States. This coin, in particular, was used in the southern parts of the empire, such as Lombardy and Venetia.
