Interesting fact

The ½ Thaler coin from Hungary, minted between 1767 and 1780 during the reign of Maria Theresa, features an interesting design element - a crowned and armored bust of the empress on the obverse side, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was meant to symbolize the power and strength of the Habsburg Empire, which spanned across much of Europe during that time.
