Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Counts of Dietrichstein (Austrian States) was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). This conflict had a profound impact on the economy and coinage of many regions, including Austria. Despite the challenges of this period, the Counts of Dietrichstein were able to maintain control over their territories and mint their own coins, such as the 1 Kreuzer coin, which was made of silver and weighed 0.618 grams.
