Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin was minted during the reign of Leopold I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Hungary from 1657 to 1705. The coin features an image of Leopold I on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. The silver content of the coin was 0.2563 troy oz, and it had a diameter of 24mm. The coin was minted in several different cities in Hungary, including Budapest, Győr, and Kremnitz. It's worth noting that the 1 Kreuzer coin was a widely used denomination during its time and was equivalent to 1/60 of a Hungarian forint, which was the main currency unit in Hungary at the time. The coin's design and silver content made it a popular trade coin in Europe, and it remained in circulation until the early 18th century.
