One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Styria is that it features an image of Charles II Francis of Austria, who was the ruler of the region at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Styria on the other. This coin was minted between 1581 and 1584 and was made of silver, weighing 1.62 grams. It's a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
