Interesting fact
The ¼ Ducat coin from Hungary, minted in 1711 during the reign of Joseph I, is made of gold and features an interesting fact. The coin's design includes an image of the Holy Roman Emperor, Joseph I, on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the Hungarian coat of arms. This coin is notable for being one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a ruler on one side and a national symbol on the other, which was a unique design choice for its time.
