Interesting fact
The 1743 Maria Theresia Kreuzer coin from the Austrian Empire is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The coin was minted in Graz, which was then a part of the Austrian Empire, and it features an image of Empress Maria Theresia on one side and the imperial eagle on the other. The coin was made of Billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used for coins during this time period. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a popular collector's item today, with many examples still in existence and highly sought after by numismatists.
