Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Joseph I's reign (1706-1711) was the first standardized coinage issued in Hungary, and it was made of silver. This coin was introduced as part of a broader effort to reform the Hungarian economy and establish a standardized system of currency. Prior to this, the currency in use in Hungary was diverse and often irregular, with many different types of coins and denominations in circulation. The introduction of the 1 Thaler coin helped to establish a more stable and reliable monetary system in Hungary, and it paved the way for the development of modern currency systems in the country.
