Interesting fact

The obverse of the coin features an image of Emperor Leopold I, while the reverse features the coat of arms of the Austrian Empire. The coat of arms is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, which symbolizes victory and glory. This design was used on many coins during Leopold's reign and has become a distinctive feature of Austrian coins from that period.
