Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Styria is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Habsburg, which was the ruling dynasty at the time. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the coin's connection to the Habsburg Empire and to show the coin's legitimacy and authenticity.
