Comment
Grouped by Krause under KM#1169 despite major differences and 15 year lag in production.Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin from the Austrian Empire, minted between 1693 and 1695, features an image of Emperor Leopold I on one side and the coat of arms of Vienna on the other. The coat of arms includes a depiction of the Wiener Neustadt, a medieval fortress that was an important stronghold for the Habsburgs. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Great Turkish War taking place just a few decades prior, and the coin's design reflects the political and military tensions of the time.
