Interesting fact

The obverse of the coin features an image of Emperor Leopold I, while the reverse features the coat of arms of the Habsburg Empire. The coin was minted in Hall, which is now a part of Austria, and was used as a standard circulation coin during its time. Despite being made of silver, the coin is relatively lightweight, weighing only 7.16 grams.
