Interesting fact

The 3 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 national emblem, a double-headed eagle, surrounded by the shields of the seven Hungarian tribes. This design was meant to symbolize the unity and strength of the Hungarian people.
