Interesting fact
The ¼ Thaler coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Leopold I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1658 to 1705. The coin features an image of Leopold I on one side and the Austrian coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time. It's worth noting that the ¼ Thaler coin was a standard circulation coin during the Austrian Empire, which means it was widely used in everyday transactions. It's an interesting piece of history that gives us a glimpse into the economic and monetary systems of the time.
