Interesting fact
The 1 Poltura coin from Hungary, minted in 1736 during the reign of Charles III, was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins to use a unique feature called "rifling" on its edges. Rifling is a series of grooves or ridges that are cut into the edges of a coin to prevent counterfeiting and to make it easier to tell apart from other coins. This feature was innovative for its time and added an extra layer of security to the coin.
