Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand I, who was the first Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire from the House of Habsburg. This coin was minted in Klagenfurt, which was an important city in the Austrian Empire at the time. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal for coinage during that period.
