One interesting fact about the 30 Kreuzers ½ Guldenthaler coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Ferdinand I, who was also known as Ferdinand the Habsburg. He was the first Emperor of the Habsburg dynasty, which ruled the Austrian Empire for over 600 years. The coin's design features an image of Ferdinand I on one side and the Habsburg coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the powerful and influential rule of the Habsburgs in Europe during that time.
