Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1792 Hungarian Thaler coin is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to signify that it had been tested for its silver content, which was a common practice in the region at the time. This feature makes the coin stand out from other coins of the same era and adds to its historical significance.
