Comment
In 1695 were issued in several of the Habsburg lands 1 Kreuzer coins with a similar reverse legend, "XXXXische Landmünz". In Bohemia, Prague and Kuttenberg (Böhmische Landmuntz), in Graz (Steyrerische Landmunz), in Oppeln (Schlesische Landmunz).Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer landmünz - Leopold I (Graz) 1695 coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Leopold I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1658 to 1705. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, known as the "Leopoldiner" series, which featured the emperor's portrait on one side and the Austrian coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of Billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of copper, silver, and other metals, and weighed 0.7 grams. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is highly sought after by collectors today due to its historical significance and rarity.
