Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin from the Austrian Empire, minted between 1748 and 1750, features an image of Empress Maria Theresia on one side and the imperial eagle on the other. It was made of Billon, a type of alloy composed of silver and copper. Interestingly, this coin was minted during a time of economic hardship and currency reform in the Austrian Empire, and its production was discontinued after 1750 due to the introduction of a new currency system. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
