This silver coin, "Twintig Kreuzer," was minted in Prague in 1757 during the Prussian siege. The obverse features a portrait of Maria Theresa, Holy Roman Empress, while the reverse depicts the Habsburg coat of arms. This "noodmunt," or emergency coin, reflects the desperate financial situation of the Austrian Empire during the Seven Years' War. The coin, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to this tumultuous period in European history.
