Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin was minted during the reign of Charles III, who was the King of Hungary and Croatia from 1711 to 1740. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition was a significant departure from the previous copper coins that were commonly used in circulation at the time. This change in material was likely due to the increased availability of silver in the region and the desire to create a coin that was more durable and valuable. The 1 Kreuzer coin was widely used in trade and commerce throughout Hungary and its surrounding regions, and it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
