Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer - Maria Theresia (Graz) 1756-1762 coin is that it was minted during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa, who was known for her extensive reforms and modernization efforts in the Austrian Empire. The coin's design features a portrait of the Empress on one side and the Imperial Eagle on the other, symbolizing the power and authority of the Habsburg dynasty.
