Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Styria is that it features an image of Frederick III-V, who was the last Duke of Styria from the House of Habsburg. He ruled from 1457 until his death in 1493, and his reign saw the rise of the Habsburg Empire, which would go on to become one of the most powerful empires in European history.
