Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers coin featuring Joseph II as co-ruler is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in Hungary. The coin was minted in 1767, just a few years after the Seven Years' War, which had a profound impact on the Hungarian economy. Additionally, Joseph II was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the government, which may have influenced the design and production of the coin.
