Interesting fact

The ½ Thaler coin from the Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) made of Silver weighing 14.34g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Charles III (1716-1720), who was the first Habsburg king of Hungary. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin during his reign and is a rare and valuable collector's item today.
