Comment
This 4 Tallér was minted with the dies of Tallér H#1106, see below:Interesting fact
The 4 Thalers coin from Hungary, minted in 1610 during the reign of Matthias II, has an interesting feature. The coin's obverse side bears an image of the Holy Roman Emperor, while the reverse side features the Hungarian coat of arms. This coin was minted during a time when Hungary was still part of the Holy Roman Empire, and it highlights the complex political and cultural ties between the two entities. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's composition and its relatively large weight of 115.28 grams make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
