Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Austrian Empire, minted between 1706 and 1711, is that it was one of the smallest silver coins issued by the empire during that time, with a diameter of only 13 millimeters. Despite its small size, it was still a widely used denomination in everyday transactions, reflecting the economic importance of even the smallest units of currency during that period.
