Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Hungary, minted during the reign of Ferdinand III (1641-1644), is that it was used as a means of payment for the soldiers fighting in the Thirty Years' War. The coin was valued at 1/4 of a standard thaler, and it was widely used throughout the Holy Roman Empire.
