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, which includes a shield with a double cross, representing the Christian faith, and a crown on top, symbolizing the royal power. It's worth noting that the coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Holy Roman Empire facing challenges from the Ottoman Empire and other neighboring powers. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the Holy Roman Empire and its influence on the history of Europe.
