Comment
I and H are inverted in ARCHIDVX in reverse legend.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Charles VI, who was the last Habsburg ruler of the empire. He ruled from 1711 to 1724, and during his reign, the empire experienced significant economic growth and cultural achievements. The coin itself is made of silver and features an image of Charles VI on one side and the imperial eagle on the other. It was widely used throughout the empire and remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
