Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features an image of Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor, with a long beard and wearing a crown. The reverse side of the coin depicts the coat of arms of Hungary, with the Hungarian crown on top. The coin was minted during Leopold's reign as King of Hungary, which lasted from 1692 to 1693. It's worth noting that the coin's design and the materials used in its production were typical of coins minted during that time period in Europe. The use of silver was common for coins of higher denominations, and the inclusion of the ruler's image on the obverse was a common practice in many countries. However, the specific design elements and the fact that the coin was minted during a specific reign make it an interesting piece of history for collectors and numismatists.
