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 from the House of Habsburg. This coin was minted in Hall, which is now a part of Austria, and was made of silver, weighing 1 gram. It was a standard circulation coin during its time and is now a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
