Comment
Mint mark is doubtful, probably Vienna but according to Herinek, uncertain. There are 2 variants, one with long bust dividing the legend below, one with shorter bust and continuous legend.Interesting fact
The 15 Kreuzers coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Leopold I, who was known for his efforts to strengthen the Austrian economy and military. The coin's design features a portrait of the emperor on one side and the Austrian coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of silver and weighed 6.62 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at the time. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
