Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Ferdinand III 1641-1655 coin from Hungary is that it features an image of the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War taking place during Ferdinand's reign. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Habsburg dynasty.
