Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Poltura coin featuring Francis II Rákóczi is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Hungary. Rákóczi was a national hero who led a rebellion against the Habsburg Empire, which had occupied Hungary for centuries. The coin was minted in 1704, just a year after Rákóczi's victory over the Habsburg forces at the Battle of Smolenice, which marked a turning point in the rebellion. Despite the turmoil, the coin still features the traditional Hungarian coat of arms on one side and an image of Rákóczi on the other, signifying the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
