Interesting fact
The 1742 Maria Theresia Kreuzer coin from the Austrian Empire is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa, who was one of the few female rulers of the Habsburg dynasty. She was known for her strong leadership and her efforts to modernize and strengthen the Austrian economy, which led to the introduction of new coinage systems, including the Kreuzer coin.
