Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Maria Theresa, who was the first female ruler of the Habsburg dominions and one of the most influential women in European history. She ruled for 40 years and her reign saw significant cultural, economic, and political reforms, including the establishment of the Austrian Netherlands (now Belgium) as a separate entity from the Dutch Republic. The coin's design and mintage reflect the political and economic changes that took place during her rule.
