Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1868 Hungarian 20 Kreuzers coin is that it features a rare mule design, with the obverse (front) side bearing the image of Francis Joseph I, while the reverse (back) side features the coat of arms of Hungary. This mule design was created accidentally, when a die intended for a different coin was used to strike this coin, resulting in a unique and highly sought-after variation among collectors.
