Interesting fact
The 6 Kreuzers coin was minted during the reign of Charles III, who was the King of Hungary and Croatia from 1711 to 1740. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. What's interesting is that this coin was minted using silver that was mined from the rich silver deposits in the Hungarian town of Selmecbánya, which was an important center for silver mining in the 18th century. The use of locally sourced silver in the minting of this coin highlights the economic and industrial development of Hungary during this period.
