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 composition was a significant departure from the previous copper coins that were commonly used at the time, and it marked a shift towards the use of more valuable metals in Hungarian coinage.
