Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ferdinand II 1630 Groschen coin from Hungary is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the Hungarian coat of arms, which was not commonly found on coins of that time period. This shield was added to the coin to signify the importance of Hungary's national identity and its connection to the Habsburg Empire.
