Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from Hungary, minted during the reign of Charles III in 1735, was a significant coin in its time because it was the first silver coin to be introduced in the country. Prior to this, Hungary had primarily used copper coins for circulation. The introduction of the silver ½ Thaler coin marked a shift towards the use of silver as a standard currency in Hungary, and it paved the way for the eventual adoption of the silver standard in the country.
