Interesting fact

The obverse 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 depicts the coat of arms of Hungary, with the crowned double-headed eagle in the center, surrounded by the inscription "Magyarország Királysága" (Kingdom of Hungary) in Hungarian. This coin is notable for its historical significance, as it was issued during the reign of Leopold I, who played a major role in shaping the political and cultural landscape of Europe during his time. Additionally, the coin's design reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the Baroque period, which was prevalent during the early 18th century.
