Interesting fact
The obverse side of the coin features an image of Leopold I, the Holy Roman Emperor, with a long beard and a crown. The reverse side shows the coat of arms of Hungary, which includes a double-headed eagle and a shield with the Hungarian royal symbols.

It's worth noting that the coin's silver content and weight of 7.25g make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today. Additionally, the coin's age and historical significance make it a fascinating piece of Hungarian history.
