Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Kreuzer coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Empress Maria Theresia, who was one of the most influential women in European history. She ruled the Austrian Empire for 40 years and made significant reforms in areas such as education, healthcare, and administration, which helped to modernize and strengthen the empire. The coin itself is made of copper and features an image of Maria Theresia on one side and the imperial eagle on the other. It was used as a standard circulation coin during her reign and remains a popular collector's item today.
