Interesting fact
The Miklós III Zrinyi/Nikola III Zrinski (Gvozdansko) 1533 silver thaler coin features a unique design element - a stylized depiction of a crocodile on the reverse side. This image was included to symbolize the power and strength of the Zrinsky family, who were known for their bravery and military prowess. The use of a crocodile in this context was likely inspired by the ancient Egyptian symbolism of the crocodile as a protector and guardian, and it adds an interesting layer of depth and meaning to the coin's design.
