Comment
Prev. KM#712Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer - Maria Theresia (Hall) 1745-1747 coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa, who was known for her extensive reforms and modernization efforts. 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. Despite being made of silver, the coin's value was relatively low, with 1 Kreuzer being equivalent to 1/60 of a Gulden, the standard unit of currency at the time. Today, these coins are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and rarity.
