Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from Hungary, minted during the reign of Matthias II (1617-1619), features an interesting design element - a unique coat of arms on the reverse side. The coat of arms depicts the Hungarian royal arms, with a shield divided into three parts, representing the three main regions of the country: Hungary, Croatia, and Slavonia. This design was used during Matthias II's reign and symbolizes the unity of the three regions under one ruler.
