Here is an 1765 Austrian 20 Kreuzer I also picked up recently, which has yet to be delivered, alas... Please, what are your opinions? Thanks for looking Ben
Ben,that is a nice coin.There are very similar coins that look like they're from Austria,but are actually from Galicia & Lodomeria,which is now a part of Poland.They're actually quite a scarce series to try & collect. Aidan.
That's a very nice Austrian 20 kreuzer you are showing (Austria KM#2030). It is a posthumous issue of Franz I, who was married with the famous empress Maria Theresia. Despite the date 1765, your coin was issued in 1770 by the Kremnitz Mint in Hungary.The letters EvM and D stand for the Kremnitz Mint officials Ignaz Krammer Edler von Munzburg and P. Joseph von Damiani. Those letters were used from 1767 to 1772. The B under the effigy is the mintmark of Kremnitz, the E under the effigy is the mark of the real year this coin had been minted: 1770.
