Interesting fact
The obverse side of the coin features an image of Emperor Leopold I, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Austrian Empire, surrounded by the inscription "ARCHIDVCE AUSTRIAE" (Archduke of Austria). This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Austrian Empire, with the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) having recently ended, and the Great Turkish War (1683-1699) on the horizon. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the enduring power and influence of the Austrian Empire during this period.
