Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzer coin from Further Austria is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Francis II, who was the last Holy Roman Emperor and the first Emperor of Austria. This period saw the rise of the Austrian Empire and the coinage of this time reflects the shift in power and influence. The 3 Kreuzer coin, made of Billon with a small amount of silver, was a widely used denomination during this time and remains a popular collector's item today.
