Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers - Francis Joseph I 1870-1872 coin from Hungary is that it features a unique design element - the portrait of Francis Joseph I, the Emperor of Austria, is depicted facing to the left, which was a departure from the traditional depiction of rulers facing to the right on coins. This design choice was made to distinguish the coin from other coins featuring the same ruler, and to symbolize the change in direction that Francis Joseph I brought to the Austro-Hungarian Empire during his reign.
