Interesting fact

The 15 Kreuzers coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Leopold I, who ruled the Austrian Empire from 1658 to 1705. The coin features an image of Leopold I on one side and the coat of arms of Graz, the capital city of Styria, on the other. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time. It's worth noting that the 15 Kreuzers coin was a standard circulation coin, meaning it was widely used in everyday transactions and was not a rare or commemorative coin. However, due to its age and historical significance, it has become a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
