Comment
C.III.: 211-212 H.: 1111-1112 ÉH: 847Interesting fact
The Thaler coin from Hungary, minted during the reign of Matthias II (1616-1620), features an interesting design element - a unique coat of arms on the reverse side. The coat of arms depicts the Hungarian national emblem, a double-headed eagle, surrounded by the shields of the seven Hungarian tribes. This design was a departure from the traditional coat of arms used by the Habsburg dynasty, which had been featured on previous Hungarian coins. The use of the Hungarian national emblem on the Thaler coin was a nod to the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
