Interesting fact
The Maria Theresia 1772-1779 Konventionsthaler coin from the Margraviate of Burgau (Austrian States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa, who ruled the Habsburg Empire from 1740 to 1780. During her reign, the empire faced numerous challenges, including the Seven Years' War, the French Revolution, and the Enlightenment, which brought about significant social, political, and economic changes. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the Habsburg Empire and its influence on European history.
