Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features an image of Empress Maria Theresa, who ruled the Habsburg Empire from 1740 to 1780. She was known for her many reforms and her efforts to centralize power, which helped to strengthen the empire and improve the lives of its citizens. The coin's design was created by the Austrian engraver and medallist, Joseph Daniel Böhm, and it is considered one of the most iconic and beautiful coin designs of the 18th century.
