Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Thaler Klippe was a test coin minted in small quantities to test the dies and ensure that they were producing coins of the correct weight and purity. It features an image of Leopold I, the Holy Roman Emperor, on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. What makes this coin particularly interesting is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Hungary, when the country was struggling to maintain its independence from the Ottoman Empire. Despite this, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, making it a valuable piece for collectors today.
