Interesting fact

The 15 Kreuzers coin was minted during the reign of Leopold I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia, Hungary, and Croatia. The coin features an image of Leopold I on one side and the coat of arms of Breslau on the other. What's interesting is that the coat of arms of Breslau features a stylized image of a sailing ship, which symbolizes the city's connection to the Oder River and its importance as a trading center. This coin is a rare example of a standard circulation coin that features a regional coat of arms, making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
