Comment
300th Anniversary of the Birth of Empress Maria Theresa – first coin of the seriesInteresting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reversible design, with the portrait of Empress Maria Theresa on one side and a depiction of her coronation on the other. This innovative design was achieved through a special minting process, where the coin was struck twice to create a mirror-like effect. This feature not only adds aesthetic value to the coin but also symbolizes the dual nature of Maria Theresa's reign, characterized by both courage and determination.
