Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand I, who was the first Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and the founder of the House of Habsburg. The coin features an image of Ferdinand I on one side and the Imperial Eagle on the other, symbolizing the power and authority of the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's silver content and small weight made it a valuable and practical means of exchange for everyday transactions during that time.
