Comment
Franz II of the Holy Empire from 1792 to 1806 became Franz I of Austria after 1806.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Austrian Empire, minted between 1831 and 1835 during the reign of Francis I, is that it was one of the first coins to feature a standardized design across different regions within the empire. Prior to this, coins from different regions often had unique designs, making it difficult to standardize currency across the empire. The standardization of the 1 Thaler coin helped to facilitate trade and commerce across the Austrian Empire.
