Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin was minted during the reign of Charles III, who was the King of Hungary and Croatia from 1712 to 1740. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was significant because it reflected the value of the coin and the wealth of the Hungarian kingdom at the time. Additionally, the coin's design and minting process were overseen by the Hungarian National Mint, which was established in 1712 and is still in operation today.
