Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin was minted during the reign of Leopold I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Hungary at the time. The coin features an image of Leopold I on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of silver and weighed 1.60 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the coin was widely used in trade and commerce throughout Hungary and the surrounding regions. Today, the 3 Kreuzers coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of Hungary and the Holy Roman Empire.
