Interesting fact

The 2 Thalers coin from Hungary, minted in 1611 during the reign of Matthias II, features an interesting design element - a unique coat of arms. The coat of arms depicts the Hungarian royal symbols, including the double-headed eagle, and is surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This design was meant to symbolize the unity of the Hungarian people and their connection to the royal family.
