Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Ferdinand III 1639-1640 coin from Hungary is that it features an image of the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years War taking place from 1618 to 1648. Despite this, the coin's design remained relatively unchanged during this period, with the image of Ferdinand III remaining a constant feature. This coin is a testament to the enduring power and influence of the Holy Roman Empire during this time.
