Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil and change in the Hungarian States. The coin was issued during the occupation of Nagyszeben (now Sibiu, Romania) by the Habsburg Emperor Ferdinand I in 1552. This was a time of great political and religious upheaval in the region, with the Protestant Reformation gaining traction and the Ottoman Empire expanding its territories. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with intricate details and designs that reflect the cultural and artistic traditions of the time.
