Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 30 Kreuzers coin featuring Francis I of Lorraine is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Hungary. The coin was issued in 1751, just a few years after the Hungarian Jacobite uprising, which attempted to overthrow the Habsburg dynasty and install a new monarch. Despite this political unrest, the coin still features the image of Francis I, who ruled alongside his wife, Maria Theresa, as co-rulers of the Austrian Empire. This coin is a unique piece of history that highlights the complex political landscape of 18th-century Europe.
