Interesting fact
The 1 Duarius coin from Hungary, minted during the reign of Leopold I (1703-1705), features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other national symbols, the coin bears an image of a large tree, surrounded by a wreath of leaves and topped with a crown. This design is believed to represent the "Tree of Life," a symbol of strength, wisdom, and prosperity in many cultures. It's a unique and eye-catching feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of its time and makes it a popular collector's item.
