Comment
B-V & I.B.-I.V. = Joseph Brunner Mint Master & Joseph Vischer ControllerInteresting fact
The 3 Kreuzers - Maria Theresa 1779 coin from Hungary is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa, who was a powerful and influential leader in European history. She ruled the Habsburg Empire, which spanned across much of Central and Eastern Europe, for over 40 years. The coin's design features a portrait of Maria Theresa on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the connection between the Habsburg Empire and Hungary. Additionally, the fact that it's made of silver adds to its value and rarity, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
