Comment
Wrongly listed by Krause under Hungarian Kingdom coinsInteresting fact
The Poltura - Leopold I 1695-1703 coin from the City of Selmecbánya (Hungarian States) is notable for its unique design. The obverse side features an image of Leopold I, while the reverse side depicts the Hungarian coat of arms. What's interesting is that the coat of arms is surrounded by a wreath made of leaves and berries, which was a distinctive feature of coins minted in Selmecbánya during this time period. This design element sets the Poltura - Leopold I coin apart from other coins minted in different cities in the Hungarian States during the same period.
