Comment
Many variants in 1557.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Reichsthaler - 72 kreuzer coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Ferdinand I, who was known for his efforts to centralize power and establish a strong, efficient government. This coin, minted in Klagenfurt in 1557-1558, was a standard circulation coin made of silver and weighed 31 grams. It features an image of the emperor on one side and the imperial eagle on the other. Despite its age, this coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
