Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Thaler Klippe - Rudolf 1604-1608 from Hungary is that it was minted during the reign of Rudolf II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Hungary at the time. The coin features an image of Rudolf II on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used in other coins of the time, making it a unique and valuable piece in the history of numismatics.
