Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin was minted during the reign of Leopold I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Hungary from 1695 to 1705. 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 1.70 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, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
