Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin featuring Francis I of Lorraine is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Hungary. The coin was minted between 1751 and 1765, a period when Hungary was under the rule of the Habsburg Empire and facing significant political and economic challenges. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the Hungarian people during this time.
