Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick III, who was the last emperor of the House of Habsburg. He ruled from 1440 to 1493 and was known for his efforts to centralize power and reform the administration of the empire. The coin's design features an image of Frederick III on one side and the Graz coat of arms on the other, signifying its origins from the city of Graz in Austria.
