They dont seem to have been issued for many years, see below for each, but I was curious why they would been made at all. They seem inconvenient, unless there was a specific thing that cost that amount like a tax. 17 Austrian Kreuzer - 17/60 of a Gulden - 1750-1763 17 Hungarian Krajczár - 17/120 of a Thaller - 1763-1764 7 Austrian Kreuzer - 7/60 of a Gulden - 1751-1778 The other denominations are: 1/4, 1/2 (and 5/10), 1,3,5,10,20,30 Kreuzer. Which are all divisors of 60 and make sense. If anyone has any info on this, it would be much appreciated Thanks in advance DrPeper23 Some examples https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces79565.html https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces79547.html Edited by DrPeper23 08/01/2022 9:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34458 Posts	Posted 08/02/2022 03:37 am @drp, there was a fun thread about all the different denominations on world coins a few years back. It wasn't specific to just Kreuzers, but may still be of interest to you: http://goccf.com/t/267102 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
