Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Denier coin from Hungary featuring Maria Theresa is that it was minted with a unique feature - the image of Jesus on the left arm of the queen. This was a departure from the traditional depiction of Jesus on the right arm, and it was done to symbolize the queen's devotion to her faith. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, and its unique feature makes it stand out among other coins of its time.
