Interesting fact

The Maximilian I Denier coin from Hungary, minted between 1564 and 1576, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbols associated with the ruling Habsburg dynasty, it bears an image of a crowned eagle holding a scepter and an orb. This design was meant to symbolize the power and authority of the Holy Roman Empire, which Maximilian I ruled as its Emperor. The coin's unique design makes it stand out among other coins of the time, and it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
