Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat - Maria Theresia (Graz) 1747-1765 coin from the Austrian Empire is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa, who was one of the most influential women in European history. She ruled the Austrian Empire for 40 years and was known for her many reforms, including the establishment of a centralized bureaucracy, the creation of a national system of education, and the promotion of trade and commerce. The coin's design features a portrait of Maria Theresa on one side and the Austrian coat of arms on the other, and its gold content and weight make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item.
