Comment
The mint mark, a tree on a shield, is for Isaias Jessensky.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Matthias I, who was known for his efforts to stabilize the empire's economy and military. Despite being made of silver, the coin was relatively small in size and had a low denomination, indicating that it was intended for everyday use by common people.
