Interesting fact

The 15 Kreuzers coin from the Austrian Empire, minted in 1742 during the reign of Maria Theresia, is made of silver and features an interesting fact. The coin's design includes a unique mintmark, a small letter "G" below the empress's name, which indicates that it was minted at the Graz mint in Austria. This mintmark is a distinct characteristic of coins minted at Graz and can be used to verify the coin's authenticity.
