Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers siege coinage from Braunau, issued in 1743 during a time of siege, features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to signify the scarcity and hardship faced by the people during the siege. Despite being made of lead, a relatively inexpensive material, the coin's design and history make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
