One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Hungary. The coin was issued during the reign of Francis I of Lorraine, who was the co-ruler of Hungary along with his wife, Maria Theresa. This was a time of great political and social turmoil, as the Habsburg Empire was facing challenges from the rise of nationalism and the Enlightenment. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a standard circulation coin and was widely used throughout Hungary.
