Interesting fact

The obverse side of the coin features an image of Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor, with a long beard and wearing a crown. The reverse side of the coin features the coat of arms of Hungary, with the Hungarian crown on top. The coin was minted during Leopold's reign as King of Hungary, which lasted from 1675 to 1687. It's worth noting that the coin is made of silver and weighs 28.29 grams, which was a significant amount of silver at the time. The coin's design and weight reflect the economic and political importance of Hungary during the 17th century.
