Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from Hungary, featuring Francis Joseph I, was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. The coin was introduced in 1891, just a year after the death of Prime Minister Kálmán Tisza, who had been instrumental in modernizing Hungary's economy and political system. The coin's mintage coincided with a period of economic growth and industrialization in Hungary, and it was used widely in everyday transactions during this time. Despite its relatively low value, the coin remains a popular collector's item today, with many numismatists interested in its history and the story it tells about Hungary's past.
