Comment
Note: This coin was struck on the Austrian 6 Kreuzer coin from the year 1800 (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5217.html) because it was the only copper coin with this denomination.
The weight of these coins varies a lot, being somewhere between 10g and almost 15g. The reason for that was the simple and ‘primitive’ method that prone to various errors. Another reason was that the designers sanded the previous Austrian designs off while keeping the decorated rim.
