Comment
Considered posthumous by Hahn (Money Trend 9/2010).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 is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the main image of Charles II Francis of Austria. This design element was not present on all coins of this era, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
