Interesting fact
The 15 Kreuzers coin was minted during the reign of Leopold I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1658 to 1705. The coin features an image of Leopold I on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. The silver content of the coin was 0.2334 troy oz, and it was minted in several different cities across the Holy Roman Empire, including Vienna, Prague, and Budapest. It's worth noting that the coin's design and silver content made it a popular trade coin in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, and it remains a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
