Interesting fact
The 10 Kreuzers coin from the Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) made of Silver weighing 3.83g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Maria Theresa, who was the first and only female ruler of the Habsburg dominions and one of the most influential women in European history. She ruled for 40 years and her reign saw significant cultural, educational, and economic reforms, as well as military conflicts. This coin is a testament to her legacy and the rich history of the region.
