Comment
Thicker and heavier than later issues.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers - Francis II 1799 coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change. The coin was issued in 1799, just a few years before the Austrian Empire was dissolved and replaced by the Austrian Empire. This period of change and upheaval is reflected in the coin's design, which features an image of Francis II, the last Holy Roman Emperor, on one side and the Austrian coat of arms on the other. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
