Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler - Maximilian I 1573-1578 from Hungary is that it was minted during the reign of Maximilian I, who was the King of Hungary and Croatia from 1563 to 1576, and Holy Roman Emperor from 1575 to 1576. This coin was part of a series of reforms that Maximilian implemented to standardize the currency and stabilize the economy in the region. The coin's design features the coat of arms of Hungary on one side and the imperial eagle on the other, symbolizing the union between the two territories.
