Interesting fact
The 2 Thalers coin from Hungary, minted during the reign of Leopold I (1687-1695), was made of silver and features an image of the Holy Roman Emperor on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Great Turkish War taking place just a few decades prior. As a result, the coin's design and production were heavily influenced by the political and military climate of the time, making it a unique and valuable piece of numismatic history.
