Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Leopold I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Hungary and Bohemia, on one side, and the coat of arms of St. Veit on the other. St. Veit was an important town in the Austrian Empire during that time, and the coat of arms features a image of a lion holding a shield with the town's initials. This design was used on many coins during Leopold's reign and is a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
