One interesting fact about the 1780 Hungarian 1 Kreuzer coin featuring Joseph II as co-ruler is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Austrian Empire. The coin was issued as part of a series of currency reforms implemented by Joseph II, who was trying to modernize and centralize the empire's economy. The coin's design, featuring Joseph II's portrait and the imperial eagle, reflects the political and cultural influences of the time. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the 1780 1 Kreuzer coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of the Austrian Empire.
