Yes, they have the Hapsburg Jaw. I believe he or a relative was known as the "Hog Mouth." LOL

 

Hey Deorc,
That's a nice find.I believe that the number XV below the portrait is the value..15 kreuzers.I could be wrong but look at this pic of my 6 (VI) kreuzer.

Steve,that is a Hungarian coin.In that case,the denomination is 15 Krajczar,not 15 Kreuzer.

Thanks Aiden :bow: I had wonderd about it having Hungery written on it (Spotted after MikJo's post) but as I said had not done any reserch on it.

Aidan is right. It`s hungarian (Holy Mother on obv, PATRONA HUNGARIE inscription) coin. Habsburg jaw? Yes, king looks like a proud frog
