Comment
The ornementations vary, and the rhombus may be simple or double.Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features an image of Emperor Leopold I, while the reverse features the coat of arms of the Habsburg dynasty, which was the ruling dynasty of the Austrian Empire at the time. The coat of arms includes a double-headed eagle, which symbolizes the unity of the Holy Roman Empire and the Austrian Empire. The use of Billon as the material for the coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a cost-effective way to produce coins while still maintaining their durability.
