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 shows the coat of arms of Hungary, with the Hungarian crown on top. The coin was minted in 1700, during the reign of Leopold I, who was the King of Hungary and Croatia, as well as the Holy Roman Emperor. It's worth noting that the coin is made of silver and weighs 6.85 grams, which was a significant amount of silver at the time. The coin's design and weight reflect the economic and political importance of Hungary during the early 18th century.
