Tien poltura, noodmunt uit Leopoldstadt, geslagen door de ontevredenen in Hongarije 1705

This 1705 coin, created by an unknown artist, is a "noodmunt" or emergency coin, minted in Leopoldstadt, Hungary. The coin features a stylized "S" with an anchor on one side, and the inscription "Ex necessitate" (out of necessity) on the other. These coins were struck during periods of economic hardship as a substitute for official currency, reflecting the desperate times in which they were created. The small size and simple design exemplify the rudimentary nature of these emergency coins, highlighting a moment of societal stress in early 18th-century Hungary.
