Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin from Hungary, minted during the reign of Joseph I (1705-1711), features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other national symbols, the coin bears an image of a large, crowned eagle with outstretched wings, holding a scepter and an orb. This design was meant to symbolize the power and authority of the Habsburg dynasty, which ruled Hungary at the time.
