Interesting fact
The Copper Poltura - Maria Theresa 1775 coin from Hungary is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa, who was a powerful and influential leader in European history. She ruled the Habsburg Empire, which spanned across much of Central and Eastern Europe, for over 40 years. The coin's design features a portrait of Maria Theresa on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the connection between the Habsburg dynasty and Hungary. Additionally, the coin's copper material and 17.45g weight make it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
