Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 30 Kreuzers coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Francis I, who was the first emperor of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine. The coin features an image of Francis I on one side and the Austrian coat of arms on the other. The "X" mintmark on the coin indicates that it was minted in Vienna. The 30 Kreuzers denomination was a significant amount at the time, equivalent to about 1/4 of a silver thaler, and was widely used in trade and commerce.
