Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Kreuzers - Maria Theresia 1764-1765 coin from the Margraviate of Burgau (Austrian States) is that it was minted during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa, who was known for her extensive reforms and modernization efforts in the Austrian Empire. This coin, made of silver and weighing 3.9 grams, was a standard circulation coin during her reign and features an image of the Empress on one side and the Burgau coat of arms on the other. Despite being over 250 years old, many of these coins have survived and are highly sought after by collectors today.
