Interesting fact

The obverse of the coin features an image of Leopold I, the Holy Roman Emperor, with a long beard and a crown. The reverse side of the coin shows the coat of arms of Hungary, which includes a double-headed eagle and a shield with the Hungarian royal symbols. The coin's design was created by the Austrian mint and was used for several decades, making it a popular collector's item among numismatists.
