Interesting fact
The 15 Kreuzers coin from Hungary, minted between 1746 and 1750 during the reign of Maria Theresa, features an interesting fact. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not minted in Hungary but instead in the Austrian mint in Vienna. This is indicated by the presence of the Austrian coat of arms on the coin's reverse side. This fact highlights the historical connection between Austria and Hungary during the Habsburg rule.
