Interesting fact
The 15 Kreuzers coin was minted during the reign of Emperor 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 Austrian coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of silver and weighed 6.4 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time. It's worth noting that the coin's design and weight were standardized across the Austrian Empire, which helped to facilitate trade and commerce across the region. The coin's silver content also made it a valuable and sought-after currency, both within the empire and beyond.
