Interesting fact
The ½ Kreuzer coin from the Austrian Empire, minted between 1780 and 1790 during the reign of Joseph II, features an interesting design element. On the obverse side, the coin bears the image of a crowned eagle, which symbolizes the empire's power and authority. However, if you look closely, you'll notice that the eagle is depicted with its wings spread wide, which is a departure from the traditional depiction of eagles on coins. This design choice was made to represent Joseph II's vision of a more powerful and expanded Austrian Empire.
