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

This small, 1705 bronze coin was likely struck by Hungarian revolutionaries in the city of Leopoldstadt, Austria. It features an "L" for Leopoldstadt on one side, and the inscription "Pro Necessitate" (for necessity) on the other. Such "noodmunt" (emergency coins) were minted during times of scarcity or rebellion, providing a glimpse into the turbulent history of the region. The coin's diminutive size and simple design reflects the resourcefulness of those who created it.
