Interesting fact

The obverse of the coin features an image of Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor, with a long beard and wearing a crown, while the reverse features the coat of arms of Hungary, which includes a double-headed eagle and a shield with the Hungarian crown on top. The coin was minted during Leopold's reign from 1657 to 1705, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in Hungary during that time.
