Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Maria Theresa 1743-1744 coin from Hungary is that it features a unique "mintage" technique, where the coin's design was created by striking the coin multiple times with a hammer, resulting in a textured, irregular surface. This technique was used to create a sense of antiquity and rarity, and it has become a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
