    I've always liked these designs, especially the ones with that square or diamond (lozenge?) shape (and whatever you call the other shape), like @chrsmat71 posted in Post #2.

    The guy who pronounces the word "kreuzer" if you listen to the audio pronunciation link in the Wikipedia article certainly sounds like he could use a throat lozenge!

    Actually, it was....
    The Emperor was ruling over most of Germany/ Austria/ Hungary/ Czech Rep./ Slovakia/ Galacia/ part of Poland/ most of modern Yugoslavia.
    Also the Emperor was the Pope's protector of the Roman Catholic religion
    Thus it was a "Holy Roman Empire"
