Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers - Francis Joseph I 1868-1869 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 it has become a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
