Comment
Decorated edge photo is of 1763 with nothing below bust. I found another reference to a 1763 S with a decorated ("décorée") edge at: https://www.cgbfr.com/hongrie-poltura-marie-therese-1763-b-,fwo_462136,a.htmlInteresting fact
The Copper Poltura - Maria Theresa 1763-1766 coin from Hungary is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Maria Theresa, who was the first female head of the House of Habsburg and ruled over a vast empire that spanned across Europe and beyond. Despite being made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, the coin was still considered valuable and widely used in trade and commerce during its time. Additionally, the coin's design features a unique blend of Baroque and Renaissance styles, making it a distinctive and beautiful piece of numismatic history.
