Interesting fact

The Leopold I (Gold Strike) 1666 from Hungary is a rare and valuable coin that features a unique design element - a pattern of small stars surrounding the coat of arms on the obverse (front) side of the coin. This star pattern is known as a "stellar crown" and was only used on a few coins during Leopold's reign, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
