Comment
Struck with roller dies. Mint records are 308 000 between 1745 and 1747, probably all dated 1745.Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin from the Austrian Empire, featuring Maria Theresia, is notable for its unique design. The coin's obverse side features an image of the Empress, while the reverse side bears the coat of arms of the Habsburg dynasty. The use of Billon, a silver-copper alloy, in the coin's minting process adds to its historical significance, as it was a common practice in the production of coins during that time period.
