Comment
CH = Pozsony mint (Bratislava, Pressburg)Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Hungary, minted during the reign of Charles III (1717-1718), features an image of the king on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. The coat of arms includes a unique symbol called the "turul," which is a mythical bird of prey that is said to have played a significant role in Hungarian folklore and mythology. The turul is depicted holding a holy crown and a scepter, representing the king's authority and power. This symbolism reflects the importance of the monarchy in Hungarian history and culture.
