The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Austrian Empire, minted in 1744 during the reign of Maria Theresia, is made of Billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of copper, silver, and other metals. This coin was widely used in trade and commerce during that time, and its design features an image of the empress on one side and the imperial eagle on the other. Despite its age, some of these coins are still in circulation among collectors and can be valuable due to their historical significance and rarity.
