Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern Denier - Matthias II (Gold Strike) 1614 from Hungary is that it features a unique design element known as a "secret mark" or "hidden signature." This is a small, subtle detail that is not immediately apparent upon first glance, but upon closer inspection, a small letter or symbol can be found hidden within the design. In this case, the secret mark is a small "M" that can be found in the lower left quadrant of the coin, just above the date. This feature was included by the mint master, Johann von der Linden, as a way to authenticate the coin and prevent counterfeiting.
