Interesting fact
The 15 Kreuzers coin from Hungary, minted in 1742 during the reign of Maria Theresa, features an interesting error on its reverse side. The coin was intended to depict the Hungarian coat of arms, but instead, it features a mirrored image of the coat of arms, with the left and right sides reversed. This error, known as a "transposed" design, was likely caused by a mistake in the die-making process and has become a sought-after feature among collectors.
