Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Austrian Empire, minted in 1460 under Frederick III, is that it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the previous coins that were made of copper or other base metals. This change in material was likely due to the increasing value of silver at the time and the desire to create a coin that was more durable and valuable. The use of silver in the 1 Kreuzer coin helped to establish it as a reliable and trustworthy form of currency, and it paved the way for the use of silver in future coinage.
