<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2498896, member: 112&quot;]I did some checking and the only thing I could find out is that there were sweeping changes involving politics and religion in Austria after 1851, the last year the 1/2 kreuzer was minted. So I suspect that the change from 1/2 to 5/10 was in some way to signify the difference between the two regimes. After 1851 there were no 1/2 kreuzers minted and it was not until 1858 that the 5/10 keuzers appeared. And they continued to be minted from then on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
