Comment
Minted in Vienna.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 15 Kreuzers - Maria Theresia 1775-1777 coin from the Austrian Partition of Poland (Polish States) is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa, who ruled the Habsburg Empire from 1740 to 1780. During her reign, the empire underwent significant reforms and expansion, including the partitioning of Poland, which led to the creation of the Polish States. The coin's design, featuring an image of Maria Theresa on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other, reflects the complex political and cultural dynamics of the time.
