Interesting fact

The Poltura - Leopold I 1698 coin from the City of Selmecbánya (Hungarian States) is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was issued during the reign of Leopold I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Hungary at the time.
