Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin was minted during the reign of Leopold I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1658 to 1705. The coin features an image of Leopold I 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 silver standard, which was widely used in Europe during that time. The coin's design and material also symbolized the power and wealth of the Habsburg Empire, which ruled over Hungary at the time.
