Interesting fact

The obverse of the coin features an image of Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor, with a crown on his head and a scepter in his hand. The reverse side of the coin shows the coat of arms of the Principality of Transylvania, which includes a shield with the Hungarian coat of arms, topped with a crown, and flanked by two angels holding palm branches. The coin's design was created by the renowned Austrian engraver, Johann Carl Aichacher.
