Comment
This 4 Tallér was minted with the dies of the Tallér H#1111, see below:Interesting fact
The 4 Thalers coin from Hungary, minted in 1616 during the reign of Matthias II, features an interesting design element - a unique coat of arms on the reverse side. The coat of arms depicts the Hungarian royal coat of arms, with a shield divided into three parts, representing the three kingdoms of Hungary, Croatia, and Slavonia. This design was specifically used during Matthias II's reign and is a distinctive feature of this coin.
