Comment
The mint used the same dies as for the ÉH#1185 Tallér, see below:Interesting fact
The 10 Ducats - Charles III 1740 coin from Hungary is an extremely rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when Hungary was under Habsburg rule, and the coin's design reflects this political influence. The obverse of the coin features an image of Charles III, who was the Holy Roman Emperor at the time, while the reverse features the Hungarian coat of arms. This coin is a fascinating piece of history and a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
