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 family of the Austrian Empire at the time. The coin was minted in Graz, which was a significant minting location for the Austrian Empire during the 17th and 18th centuries. It's worth noting that the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal for coinage during that time period. The use of silver in coinage was a symbol of the wealth and power of the Austrian Empire, and it was a common practice for many European countries during the 17th and 18th centuries.
