Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Hungary, minted in 1790 during the reign of Leopold II, was part of a series of coins that were minted to commemorate the Emperor's visit to Hungary that year. The coin features an image of Leopold II on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. It's made of silver (.833) and weighs 28.060 grams. It's interesting to note that this coin was minted during a time when Hungary was still part of the Austrian Empire, and the coinage of the time reflected the political and cultural influences of the era. The coin's design and symbolism reflect the close ties between Hungary and the Austrian Empire, and it's a fascinating piece of history that collectors and numismatists can still appreciate today.
