Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 30 Kreuzers - Maria Theresia 1775-1777 coin from the Austrian Partition of Poland (Polish States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa, who ruled the Habsburg Empire from 1740 to 1780. During her reign, the empire underwent significant reforms, including the creation of a new system of coinage. The 30 Kreuzers coin was part of this new system and was used throughout the Austrian Partition of Poland, which was established in 1772. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remained a stable and reliable form of currency, and its silver content made it a valuable commodity. Today, the coin is highly sought after by collectors and historians, offering a glimpse into the complex history of Europe during the late 18th century.
