Comment
1872 was minted between 1872-1891Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Kreuzers coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change. The coin was introduced in 1868, just a few years after the Austro-Hungarian Empire was formed, and it was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the empire. Despite being made of billon, which is a copper-silver alloy, the coin was still considered valuable and widely used in trade and commerce. This coin is a testament to the economic and political shifts that were taking place in Europe during the late 19th century.
