Comment
Ref by Herinek until 1730 Her#861 - Her#875 with 2 types.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Charles VI, who was the last Habsburg ruler to hold the title of Holy Roman Emperor. This coin was minted in the city of Graz, which was an important center for trade and commerce during that time. The coin's design features an image of Charles VI on one side and the imperial eagle on the other, symbolizing the power and influence of the Habsburg dynasty. Despite its small size and relatively low denomination, this coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political landscape of Europe during the early 18th century.
