Hey everyone! My grandfather passed down his collection to me and this was one of the ones in there. It looks to be a German 6 Kreutzer , dated 1795, B mint? Does anyone have any reference on it? Thanks!
Yes, it is Austrian but I don't have any reference books for the 18th cent, so sorry that I can;t help you more.
It is Austrian and was minted during the reign of Franz II 1792-1806 (as Franz I of Austria 1806-1835). It was minted at Kremnica (Kremnitz, Hungary).
Some of the minor coinage had high mintage numbers. I do not know how many of your coin was minted though, sorry. As a reference to Astrian mint marks during this period. The Mint that minted your coin also used the following mint marks: B, K, KB.
Your 6 kreutzer 1795B is in Krause as Austria KM#2127. weight: 3.29 gram composition: 0.438 silver mintage for 1795B: 36,127,000
RE: 6 kreutzer This very nice 6 kreutzer coin is Austro - Hungarian one not german, strucked for Austrian Empire (tere are some similar coins strucked for Hungarian regions of Austrian empire). It was minted at Kremnitz mint (K.B. or B minting initials). It is minted by Austrian Emperor Franz II, and is strucked on 0.700 silver quality.
