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 1657 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 placed on the metal at the time and the importance of the coin in the economy of the region. The coin's design and materials also symbolized the power and influence of the Holy Roman Empire during that period.
