Interesting fact
The 6 Kreuzers coin from the Austrian Empire, minted in 1743 during the reign of Maria Theresia, is notable for its unique design. The coin features an image of the Empress on one side and the Imperial Eagle on the other, with a small hole in the center of the coin that was used to thread a cord or ribbon through, allowing it to be worn as a pendant or amulet. This design element was a common feature of coins during this period and adds a unique touch to the coin's history and collectibility.
