Austria 1 Pfennig question

The Pfennig is dated 1765 and features Maria Theresa on the obverse and an ornate shield with the denomination in cartouche and dividing the date on the reverse.

Since I sold my 18th century catalog a while ago, can somebody tell me whether there are any varieties for the denomination and the respective catalog values.

Thanks in advance.

    I don't think it's an Austrian 1 pfennig - those were uniface, and had stopped being issued by 1740. Your description sounds more like a 1 kreuzer (4 pfennig) of the 1740's. All the other kreuzer designs of Maria have an eagle holding the shield, and the 1 kreuzer appears to have stopped being issued by 1760. (I'm just going off what's in Krause - there could of course be errors and omissions)

    Unless it's from somewhere else in the Hapsburg empire... Maybe posting a pic will help?
