Comment
R.: 24Interesting 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 coat of arms of Transylvania on the other. What's interesting is that the coat of arms features a image of a crescent moon, which symbolizes the Islamic influence in the region during that time period. This is a unique feature that sets this coin apart from other coins minted in the region during the same period.
