Interesting fact

The 3 Kreuzers coin was minted during the reign of Emperor 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 coat of arms of the Austrian Empire on the other. The coin was made of silver and weighed 1.63 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 the Austrian Empire.
