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 was a common motif in coinage during that time period. The use of laurel leaves on coins was meant to symbolize victory, honor, and power.
