Interesting fact
The 10 Ducats - Leopold I 1682 coin was minted during the reign of Leopold I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Hungary from 1657 to 1705. The coin features an image of Leopold I on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. It was made of gold and weighs 35.55851 grams, making it a substantial and valuable coin. It's interesting to note that the coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War taking place from 1618 to 1648 and the Great Turkish War from 1683 to 1699. Despite these conflicts, the coin remains a testament to the enduring power and influence of the Holy Roman Empire and the House of Habsburg, which ruled Hungary at the time.
