Comment
KM#2074.1 minted in Vienna, KM#2074.2 for others.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Austrian Empire, minted during the regency of Joseph II (1765-1777), is that it was the first coin to feature a standardized depiction of the imperial eagle on its reverse side. This design change was implemented to combat counterfeiting and to establish a consistent visual identity for the empire's currency. The coin's silver content and weight were also carefully regulated to ensure its authenticity and value.
