Comment
Minted by the bavarian Prinz Ludwig von Sachsen-Hildburghausen during the siege by Austrian troops during the war of Austrian succession.Interesting fact
The 15 Kreuzers siege coinage from Braunau, issued in 1743 during a time of siege, features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to signify the scarcity and hardship faced by the people during the siege. It's a poignant reminder of the historical context in which the coin was created and used.
