Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Kreuzer - Quadrans - Maria Theresia (Hall) 1750-1759 coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that contains a small amount of precious metal, typically silver or gold, mixed with a larger amount of a base metal, such as copper or tin. This was a common practice during the time period to create coins that were more durable and resistant to wear and tear than coins made of pure precious metals.
