One interesting fact about the 6 Kreuzers - Maria Theresia (Hall) 1744 coin is that it was minted during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa, who was the only female ruler of the Habsburg Empire and one of the most influential women in European history. She ruled for 40 years and her reign is remembered for the many reforms and cultural achievements that took place during that time. The coin itself is a rare and valuable collector's item, made of Billon and weighing 3.3 grams, it's a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Austrian Empire.
