Interesting fact
The ¼ Kreuzer coin from the Austrian Empire, minted between 1748 and 1749, features an image of Empress Maria Theresia on one side and the Imperial Eagle on the other. It was made of Billon, a type of alloy composed of silver and copper. Interestingly, this coin was minted during a time of economic hardship and currency reform in the Austrian Empire, and its production was discontinued after 1749. Today, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
