Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler - Joseph I (St Veit) 1707 coin from the Austrian Empire is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual coat of arms or insignia, the coin features a depiction of St. Veit, the patron saint of Vienna, standing on a hill with a church in the background. This design was chosen to commemorate the 200th anniversary of St. Veit's death and to highlight the importance of the saint in Austrian culture and history.
