Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from Hungary, minted between 1792 and 1794 during the reign of Francis II, is that it was part of a series of coins that were minted to commemorate the Austro-Hungarian Empire's victory over the Ottoman Empire in the Austro-Turkish War. The coin's design features an image of Francis II on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the unity and strength of the empire.
